The
history of Pakistan dates back thousands of years - today, the past
lingers on in the forgotten temples of the Rohtas fort, and in the twisting
alleyways of old Peshawar… Serendip has taken on the mission to help
preserve two of Pakistan's oldest historical sites. Please contact us
at serendip@apollo.net.pk if you would like to know more about how you
can help.

| The Peshawar Heritage Trail | ||||||||||
|
In
collaboration with the Government of the North-West Frontier Province,
Serendip has designed a conservation project, tracing a 'heritage trail'
through the old city, passing through such landmarks as the magnificent
ancestral home of the Sethian clan, Gor Gathri and the old Qissa Khawani
bazaar ('the bazaar of story tellers'). The project will involve the
input of local residents and aid economic and tourism development in
the area, while conserving its built heritage.

| Rohtas Fort | ||||||||||
|
In
collaboration with the Heritage and Wildlife Foundation, Serendip plans
to host a fund-raising event at Rohtas fort itself to help towards the
restoration of the once-magnificent legacy left by King Sher Shah Suri.
The fifteenth century is brought to life in a stage play and sound-and-light
show, recreating the life of one of the Sub-continent's greatest rulers
within the very fort he had built over four hundred years ago.
