Timeline
16:37
Stand at the Peace Bell. The sun is setting toward the WSW, casting long shadows and a warm glow over the landscape.
17:07
Walk up to the Kunala stupa and monastery. This is your moment. The ancient remains are bathed in the last intense rays of golden light before the sun vanishes.
17:52
Head to Gandhara hotel and restaurant for dinner. It is dark now, and the restaurant serves some of the most delicious Pakistani food and fried fish in town.
Local tip
The walk from the Peace Bell to the monastery is about 19 minutes. Plan your arrival at the Bell so you have time to reach the monastery just before the sun sets.
Check before you go
- The restaurant is open in the evening, but verify opening hours before you go.
