Saleh Khana

Saleh Khana is a large village in the Nowshera District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan located just below the Cherat mountains.

The name ''Saleh Khana'' derives from Arabic and roughly translates to "Weapon Depot", "Armour Depot" originating from the Arabic Word "''Silah''" and "''Khana" a Persian word for home, place.''

The village is inhabited by Pashtuns, of the Khattak tribe and Pashto is the main language spoken throughout the Village.

Like other parts of Pakistan, many people live overseas for work, the people of this village are spread throughout the world, with 60% living abroad. Among the countries where one can find residents of this village are, to name a few, the UK, USA, UAE, Canada, Australia, and Malaysia.

The majority can be found in the United Kingdom, mainly in Birmingham, Manchester, and Aylesbury. This has earned the village the name of "little England" due to most of its residents having dual citizenship in the UK. Originally, the residents moved aboard during the early 1960s to earn and send income back home. However, as time passed, many decided to stay abroad settling with dual citizenship and regularly travelling back and forth occasionally.. There is also a small sizeable community in Canada.

The village is surrounded by the Cherat mountains range. Within the mountains range, just above the village, is a former British Hill station or cantonment that was used in 1861 and is currently occupied by the Pakistani army. It mainly consists of a training ground for the Pakistani SSG. It is off limits to the public and hosts the world's largest zipline in South Asia which covers ranges of 1.6 km located at the Khattak mountain ranges.

It is the only village in Pakistan with multiple banks. Provided by Wikipedia
