Kashmir Smast, Limestone cave system in Babuzai Sakrah mountains, Pakistan.
Kashmir Smast is a cave system in the Babuzai Sakrah mountains with three main chambers, each containing shrines, water tanks, and strategically positioned openings. Natural light enters through these openings to illuminate the interior spaces.
The complex served as part of an administrative settlement from the 4th to 9th century under White Hun rule. Archaeological findings indicate it functioned as a governing and residential center during this period.
The cave walls show wooden panels with Hindu and Buddhist artistic styles, which reflect the religious diversity found in the ancient Gandhara region.
A local guide is essential when exploring the complex cave layout in the Katlang Valley Mardan area. The interior is dark and uneven, so bring proper footwear and a light source for safe navigation.
Excavations revealed advanced water systems combined with fortifications that point to planned urban development. These structures show that residents possessed significant technical and organizational abilities.
