→Near Abbottabad
* '''Sherwan Range''' : The Sherwan Range is a range of hills, starting from the 'Shimla Hill' (as distinct from [[Simla]], now in India) close to Abbottabad town and stretching out towards Mansehra area. During British times, it had a small Police ''Chowki'' or fortress that was set up there to check smuggling and brigandage. This still exists and some interesting old records and log books, with comments by British officers.
* '''[[Haripur]]''' town is down country, about 45 minutes drive from Abbottabad, in the Hazara plains. It was founded by Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa, a 19th century Sikh governor of the region. Apart from the Harkishan Garh Fort and old Sikh town and bazaar, some remnants of British rule also exist there and in the town's environs. Further details are available on the [[Haripur]] page.
* The Hazara '''Hill Tract''' or '''Hill stations''' , have also been discussed in individual pages, in detail.
