Potential of Islamic Tourism in District Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan: A Case Study of Naukot Monument Attributed to Sayyid Ali Hamadani

Mansehra, one of the most important districts of Hazara Division, is generally known for its natural landscape and pleasant weather that attract thousands of visitors from across the country and abroad every year.Its geographic location adds more value to its potential as a tourist destination. Located on the ancient and modern trade routes, Mansehra has been receiving and transmitting cultural flow from muti directions since early historical times. With the results, the region has witnessed the emergence, development and fall of various religious moments, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and Christianity. Material evidence of these religious practices can still be noticed in the form of stupas, temples, mosques, shrines, Gurudu waras and churches. The present paper is an attempt to highlight the historical and religious significance of the Muslim period sites with special reference to the Naukot monument and its potential for pilgrimage tourism.
