Kafir Kot, Ancient ruins in Dera Ismail Khan District, Pakistan.

The Kafir Kot complex consists of stone structures and fortifications situated along the banks of the Indus River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The site dates back to around 300 BCE during the Nanda and Mauryan empires, serving as a strategic defensive position and religious center.

The remnants of Hindu temples within the complex demonstrate the religious practices and architectural techniques of ancient civilizations in the region.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a local transport from Dera Ismail Khan city, with the best viewing conditions occurring during morning hours.

The complex features two separate archaeological locations positioned approximately 20 miles apart, each containing distinct structural remains from different periods.
