(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The pass heads northwest from near Peshawar to Kabul, and is within Pakistan's control along almost its entire length. A road was built through it in 1879 and a railroad in the 1920s.
Armies have taken advantage of the pass since at least 330 BC, when Alexander the Great and his army marched through to reach India.
