Swabi
A city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the bank of the Indus River, Swabi sits in fertile agricultural land known for sugarcane, maize, and tobacco production, with sugar and tobacco processing industries established here before partition. The wider region holds Gandharan Buddhist archaeological sites, including Takht Bhai, within reach. Separated from Mardan district in 1988, Swabi is associated with Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed and lies within a province whose rugged mountain landscapes border Afghanistan to the west.
