Khyber Pass Through the North West Frontier of India
National Geographic describes the Khyber Pass as the historic gate between Afghanistan and India, a strategic corridor guarded by British troops on convoy days. The piece highlights Ali Masjid and Landikotal, Afridi tribes, the Khyber Rifles, caravan traffic control, and the symbolic romance of camels and ancient trade routes into Peshawar.
