Starting from Islamabad by road, this jeep safari covers four distinct places with different cultures and civilizations. The journey begins from Islamabad with the first stop at Taxila, just an hour’s drive. With its history traces back to Gandhara civilization, Texila has been the ancient meeting point of traders from China and the West. This is one of the famous spots with Archaeological sites and stupas surrounded by Taxila museums. The way further leads to the historically rich and most beautiful Swat Valley, preached at an elevation of 975m south of Gilgit and north of Peshawar across the highest Malakand pass in the Hindu Kush range. The place is also called Udayana, or the garden of the ancient Hindu epic, the name given to this unsurpassed beauty. It is here that Alexander the great encountered opposing armies before marching down.
The excavated archaeological sites here range from prehistoric caves through Aryan graveyards to Buddhist monasteries, of which there were once 1,400 in the valley. The land of Swat is further divided into upper and lower Swat. Lower Swat is wide with wheat and lucerne fields on either side of the river surrounded by fruit orchards while upper Swat, with a narrow river running through pine forests, is preached on green slopes with mud-plastered stone houses, tiny shops, and water-powered flour mills. The land offers some of the best walking in Pakistan as well as excellent fishing and climbing sites besides safaris.
