Hukni: The Majestic Mountain Peak of Kohat

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Take the N-35 (Peshawar-Islamabad Motorway) heading south. After approximately 70 kilometers, take the exit toward Kohat. Continue on the Kohat Road for about 30 kilometers until you reach the city of Kohat. From Kohat, head towards the Kohat Tunnel, which will lead you to the other side of the mountains. After exiting the tunnel, follow the road signs towards Hukni. The last stretch is a rural road that may require careful navigation. The total drive should take around 2-3 hours, depending on traffic conditions.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, board a bus or van from Peshawar to Kohat. These buses are frequent and can be found at the Bus Terminal in Peshawar. The fare typically ranges from PKR 200 to 400. Upon arrival in Kohat, you can hire a local taxi or use a ride-sharing app to reach Hukni. The taxi ride from Kohat to Hukni will cost around PKR 500 to 700. Ensure you negotiate the fare beforehand if not using a ride-sharing service.

• Local Transport

  Once in Hukni, local transport options include hiring a motorcycle taxi or a rickshaw for short distances. These are widely available and should cost you around PKR 100 to 300 depending on your destination within the area. Ensure that you have local currency on hand as many small operators may not accept digital payment methods.
