Gor Khatri is a historic site that encapsulates Peshawar's multi-layered past. Originally a Buddhist monastery, it later became a caravanserai for traders on the Silk Road. The Mughal-era gateway and the remains of a Hindu temple reflect its diverse heritage. Visitors can climb to the top for sweeping views of Peshawar's old city and explore the archaeological remnants that span over two millennia. The site also houses a small museum with artifacts from its Buddhist and Hindu periods.
