Takht bhai is my ancestral village and is located about 15 km from Mardan city. I love being here in the village and especially for eating Chapli Kabab. This place is famous for Buddhist monastery, an archeological site, situated on the top of a hillock , about 2km from takht bhai main bazar. Visiting there after many years i was shocked to see the road bad condition, Mardan Malakand road near Takht bhai. Some flyover bridge was left unconstructed and there was lot of mess all around, much traffic and disturbance.

In the end i was also shocked to eat these tasteless Chapli Kabab at double price as compared to that of Mardan and Peshawar regions :(

But it's really a joy when i look back at all these beautiful photos taken by me and reminiscing about the time i shared with my loved one's during this trip. Here are some views that i took with my Samsung galaxy camera during my vi...
