Throughout history it has been an important trade route between Central Asia and South Asia, and a strategic military pass. The actual summit of the pass is 5 kilometers inside Pakistan at Landi Kotal. The pass cuts through the Safed Koh mountains which are a far southeastern extension of the Hindu Kush range. The height of the Khyber pass is 1,070m and width is 140m.
The area around the Pass is inhabited by a number of Pashtun tribes, especially the Afridis.
