Peiwar Pass
The Peiwar Kotal Pass, also spelled Paywar, is one of the mountain passes that connect the Paktia Province of Afghanistan and the Kurram Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan.
Peiwar Kotal was the site of a battle in late November 1878 between British forces under Sir Frederick Roberts. Roberts outmaneuvered Afghan forces under an unknown commander and secured a British victory and control of the pass.[1]
