Sethi Mohallah

Sethi Mohallah is a historic lane located within the old walled city of Peshawar. It is characterized by a row of large mansions formerly owned by the Sethi family. Visitors go here to walk through the narrow street and observe the architectural style of the houses, which are specifically noted for their detailed woodwork.

Getting There

The lane is situated in the heart of the old city. From the city centre, it is accessible via local rickshaws or by walking. Depending on the starting point and traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes.

Duration of Visit

A visit to this area generally requires 1 to 2 hours. This allows enough time to walk the length of the lane and examine the exterior facades of the buildings.

When to Visit

The area is best visited during the cooler months of the year to avoid the extreme summer heat. Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the peak midday sun. Like most areas in the old walled city, the lane can become crowded during business hours and weekends.
