Bab-e-Khyber, Monumental gate in Jamrud, Pakistan
The stone gate stands at 1066 meters above sea level, featuring inscriptions of rulers and invaders who passed through the Khyber Pass.
The gate, constructed in June 1964, marks the entrance to the Khyber Pass, a passage connecting South Asia with Central Asia for thousands of years.
The inscribed tablets on the gate document the names of emperors, traders, and military forces who traversed this significant mountain corridor throughout history.
Located 17 kilometers west of Peshawar, the gate serves as the primary entry point to the historic Khyber Pass trading route between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The structure functions as both a military checkpoint and a historical marker at the start of a 37-kilometer mountain pass through the Hindu Kush range.
