Shah Allah Ditta Caves

The Shah Allah Ditta caves are located on the way to Khanpu,. These caves are located near Shah Allah Ditta's shrine and mausoleum. Murals of Buddha from the Buddhist era, dating back 2,400 years, can be found on the cave walls of Shah Allah Ditta. According to archeological evidence, Buddhist monks and later Hindu sadhus used the caves and platform-like formations surrounding the area for meditation until Muslim ascetics took over during the Mughal Empire.

The place where Alexander landed and was met by Raja Ambi, King of Taxila, is marked on the ground near the caves. The Shah Allah Ditta road, which runs beside the caves and goes to the mountain's main summit, is reported to be built on the exact path taken by Pashtun monarch Sher Shah Suri during his visit.

A stepwell named Losar Baoli and a mosque erected by Shahb-ud-Din Ghori may be found on the way up the mountain from the caves. The mosque's walls are crumbling, and the road leading to it is in bad shape.
