The Historic Charm of Islamia College Cricket Ground

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the city center of Peshawar, start by walking towards the famous Qissa Khawani Bazaar. From there, you can take a left onto Khyber Bazaar and continue straight until you reach the end of the bazaar. At the end of Khyber Bazaar, turn right onto the main road (Saddar Road). Keep walking straight for about 2 kilometers. You will pass several shops and local eateries. Eventually, you will reach a fork in the road. Take the left fork, which leads you towards Rahat Abad. Continue along this road for approximately 1 kilometer until you see the entrance to Islamia College University on your left. The cricket ground is located within the university premises, so head towards the college grounds.

• Public Transport (Rickshaw)

  From a central location like Peshawar's Saddar area, you can easily find a rickshaw (auto-rickshaw) to take you to Islamia College Cricket Ground. Simply tell the driver 'Islamia College University', and they will know the location. It is a short ride of about 15 minutes, depending on traffic. The driver will drop you off at the entrance of the college, from where you can walk to the cricket ground within the premises.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  Look for a local bus heading towards Rahat Abad. Buses frequently depart from various points in Peshawar, especially near the main bazaars. You can ask locals for directions to the nearest bus stop that services Rahat Abad. Once on the bus, inform the conductor that you want to get off at Islamia College. The bus will drop you near the college entrance, from where you can walk to the cricket ground.
