'''Mansehra''' is a small town beyond [[Abbottabad]] some 30-35 minutes drive away.  It was originally established as a fortified hill village and market-place by a Sikh official, Man Singh, during the early 19th century and had a small fort and bazaar and some houses attached to it. Later on, after the British annexation of the Punjab in 1849, the town became the headquarters of [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V17_208.gif Mansehra tahsil] in [[Hazara District]], [[North West Frontier Province]].  Apart from some places of interest in the town itself, the present Mansehra district has a number of places with British colonial connections--such as the Kala Dhaka (Black Mountain) enclave and the Amb-Shergarh (Tanawal) area, which was once [[Amb State]].
