Karakar Pass (Pashto: کړاکړ دره; el. 1336 m./4384 ft.) is a mountain pass in the Hindu Kush, connecting Swat and Buner in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[1] From the top of the pass, one can view Buner Valley.
It was at this pass in February 1586 where about 8,000 Mughal soldiers, including their commander-in-chief Birbal, were killed by the Yusufzai lashkar led by Kalu Khan. This was the greatest disaster faced by the Mughal Army during Akbar's reign.[2]
The 45 km-long road from Pir Baba to Barikot passes through Elum Ghar rising through mature pine forests to Karakar Pass.
