Excavated in 2015 by the government. The stupa is from the 2nd century and is standing tall. The brick wall is marvelous and the top of it has an excellent view one side you can see taxila and on the other you see Shah Allah ditta. Standing there you can imagine the old route going in the valleys of the margalla and people travelling on it. It's a wonderful quite place, with good hiking trails leading from it. If you're an up for an adventure you can even go to khanpur damn from this place.

The hike to the stupa is around 2.5 kilometers! The path is mostly fine with a few dangerous spots. The view from the stupa and along the path to it is simply breathtaking. If you like hiking and admire a place that's serene then this place fits the bill perfectly.
