What is Karakar Pass?
{{Orphan|date=May 2009}} '''Karakar Pass''' (el. 1336 m./4384&nbsp;ft.) is a mountain pass in the Hindu Kush in Pakistan. From the top of the pass, one can view Buner Valley. It was at this pass that the Emperor Akbar lost most of his 8000-man army in an abortive attempt to invade Swat in 1586. The 45&nbsp;km-long road from Pir Baba (RA) to Barikot passes through Mount Ilam rising through mature pine forests to Karakar pass. {{multistub|Geo|Asia}} [[Category:Mountain passes of Pakistan]]
