Culture
  • The Buddhist monastic complex of Takht-i-Bahi (Throne of Origins) was established in the early 1st century.

  • Owing to its location on the crest of a high hill, it escaped successive invasions and is still exceptionally well preserved.

  • Nearby are the ruins of Sahr-i-Bahlol, a small fortified city dating from the same period.
