Mountain pass on the Afghanistan–Pakistan border
The Peiwar Kotal Pass , also spelled Paywar , is a mountain pass in the Kurram Valley that connects Paktia Province in Afghanistan to Kurram District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan . It is also known as Kurram pass.
In November 1878, during the Second Anglo-Afghan War , Peiwar Kotal was the site of a battle between British-led forces under Sir Frederick Roberts and Afghan forces. Roberts outmaneuvered the Afghans and secured a British victory and control of the pass.
