Why go
Tari Mangal (Pashto: تري منګل) is a town in the Kurram Valley at the Durand Line, near Spin Ghar, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Tari Mangal is 23 kilometres (14 mi) away from Parachinar, and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the town of Aryob in Zazi District, Afghanistan. The Pashtun tribe Mangal has been living in Tari Mangal since 1600 AD. From 1977 to 1988, during the Soviet–Afghan War, the city served as a Mujahideen camp. Weapons and funds from the United States, via Pakistan, were delivered to Afghanistan through the border at Tari Mangal, as well as its neighbouring region Torkham. Due to Tari Mangal's temperate weather in the summer, many people from hot areas in Pakistan visit Tari Mangal to enjoy the cold weather.
