Activity itinerary

Kallar Kahar

  • 20m
Carved into the Salt Range, the stark stone throne known as the Takht-e-Babri marks the first Mughal monument in South Asia. It is where the restless Emperor Babur halted his army, dictating his memoirs and claiming his first imperial foothold in the subcontinent.

Dulmial Cannon [toop]دوالمیال توپ

  • 35m
  • Admission ticket included
An iron relic transported by ox-cart to this village, the cannon testifies to the over 460 local men who marched from Dulmial to serve and die in Europe’s distant, imperial war - the largest contribution from any single village in South Asia. Moreover, this region produced Sepoy Khudadad Khan, the first soldier from undivided India to receive the Victoria Cross in WWI. We will also visit a small museum in the village set up by veterans. The cannon is followed by a visit to a small museum set up by the veterans of Dulmial.

Katas Raj Temples

  • 40m
Built around a sacred pool, mythically formed from the weeping of Lord Shiva mourning his consort Sati, this stunning complex includes various Hindu temples. It is said to be the very spot where the Pandava brothers spent part of their thirteen-year exile described in the Mahabharata, a place where spirituality and the deepest narratives of faith converge.
