Cherat

Perched on the crest of Khattak range at an elevation of 4,447 feet, Cherat is shaped like a sausage measuring 2 miles in length. The hill station dating from the 1860s is located immediately above the villages of Chapri, Saleh Khana, Kotli Kalan and Dak Ismail Khel in the Nowshera District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan.

The British took over Peshawar District in 1849 from the Sikhs and Station their troops in Peshawar. The sizzling summers of Peshawar led to the discovery of Cherat as a station. It was first used as sanitarium for troops in 1861 and was later transformed into a cantonment in 1881. The cantonment commands a view of the whole of the Peshawar valley on one side, and on the other of a portion of the Khwarra valley in Peshawar District, and of Kohat District as far as the Indus.

After independence the boys wing of armoured corps was placed here for some time. On first raising in 1956 Cherat became the Home of Special Service Group of Pakistan Army, and has become to be known as "The Eagles Nest".
