I really want to visit Lahore, Islamabad and especially Peshawar some day... Everytime I go to Pakistan with my parents, we just have stay at relative's home in Karachi... its as if going to the local shop is tourism at its best.
But atleast we will visit Lahore (and its famous 'food street') as well as Mohenjo Daro next winter holidays... or atleast, thats what my parents promised!

A very interesting version of Peshawar song by gora.
Pashto song performed at University of Wisconsin's South Asia Summer Language Institute, All-Language Day, July 2010. Performed by Brian Tilley and Ted Watter. Based on version by Irfan Khan. Recorded by SASLI program staff.
Lyrics (in both Pashto and English translation)
I accept that there are many beautiful cities in the world
But this surely surpasses them all
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!
The name is as beautiful as the city itself
When you enter the city it seems as soothing as if you are with your own beloved
Here the old men are as beautiful as the children
Here the women are as honorable as the young men
Like Malakand, the women's necks are long
Like Khyber, the men's hearts are wide open
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!
When Pashtun women want to beautiful themselves
They want a black shirt from Peshawar!
When they want a gift from their beloved
They want a few flowers from the city
Fairies are the most beautiful creatures,
But Peshawar, like a magician, increases even their beauty
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!
Like seeing many flowers
can't replace the sight of your beloved
Seeing many cities
can't replace the sight of Peshawar
Every morning bears flowers
And the evenings are incomparable
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!
This is not only my city
It is my beloved's city too!
Living in a foreign city cannot mitigate
The house of our desires!
It may be full of smoke and noise
But even then it is our heart
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!
It is the sign of Pashtun culture
May it never see bad days!
It is the sign of Pashtun culture
May it never see bad days!
The great Pashtun poet Sahil has expressed his love for Peshawar
The poet Abid's heart breathes in the city as well!
Every place has its own beauty and fun
But Peshawar is Peshawar!

The Fort, Peshawar
The Bala Hisar Fort is Peshawar's largest landmark
Bala Hisar Fort derives its name "Bala Hisar" from Persian, meaning elevated or high fort. Its name was apparently given by the Afghan King Taimur Shah Durrani (1773-1793). The Sikhs who conquered Peshawar named it Samir Garh in 1834 but the name did not become popular. The fort stands on a high mound in the northwestern corner of Peshawar City
Jamrud Fort Peshawar
Built by Hari Singh Nalwa, the Commander-in-Chief of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army
Popularly known as the fort where its builder and founder the Sikh commander Hari Singh Nalwa breathed his last, it was witness to numerous battles between the Afghans and the Sikhs during the latter's conquest and rule of the province in the early 19th century.
