Mansehra- The Second Name for Beauty

Mansehra is a city in the Mansehra district that belongs to Khyber Pakhtun Khwa and is the second largest city in the province.

The word Mansehra is actually a Hindi word “Mahaan Sehra” which means ‘flowers in abundance’. The district and town are named after Man Singh, a leading general of Mughal Emperor Akbar. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Pakistan and is known as Paradise on Earth with some of the best nature’s gifts.

Mansehra is another historic city that dates back to primitive times and was ruled by Buddhists and Hindus before Islam spread in the city.

Another interesting fact about the city is that half the population is comprised of youngsters aged below 20 years. There is only one and famous university in Mansehra, the Hazara University, along with many colleges. Ashoka Rocks This is one of Mansehra’s tourist attractions that was created on orders from Mauryan King, Ashoka.

Three granite boulders stand on the northern side of the city with 14 edicts carved into them. The edicts mention aspects of Ashoka’s religious concepts. Due to environmental degradation, the rocks are eroding and the script writing is fading. If you don’t want to miss what the scribbles say, plan your trip to Mansehra soon.
