Introducing Dera Ismail Khan (Di Khan)
Commonly referred to as DI Khan, this small market town is on the west bank of the Indus River, just east of the peak called Takht-i-Suleiman (Throne of Solomon). This Pashtun region is unsettled and is potentially dangerous for unaccompanied travellers. This is Pakistan’s only divisional headquarters without a train station.

DI Khan is known throughout Pakistan for its decorative brass inlay work, which can be picked up fairly cheaply in the bazaar.
