The city Museum is established inside the Gorkhuttri complex. The existing structure of the complex was established by Begum Jehanara, the beloved daughter of the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1640 A.D. It was established as caravanserai for the merchants who came to Peshawar from central Asia and Afghanistan etc.

A gift of History for Peshawaris. The place carries very old history of Hindkowans of Peshawar and there culture. But again the govt always comes of with its clumsy ideas and can give no modern to shape to it.

If its gorgatri museum, you are at wrong place. Fake but well managed. Museum has ticket but u may visit the park free. There is a hindu temple more beautiful and free. I will suggest you go and rather eat Paay from Nika pancha farosh.

Its full of history. One can witness ruins of 200 BC in here and can see fire brigade vehicle of British Era and a 600 years old Hindu temple. Two grand entrances are being restored. But most of the area is in bad shape. The city government is putting its efforts to restore it to its actual glory but it is a long task. I hope the interest shall remain alive and we may be able to experience an actual orchard as it had been experienced by many.

Gorkhatri in the ancient city of Peshawar was identified by Alexander Cunningham with the Kanishka stupa, the giant stupa of King Kanishka the Great, while Professor Dr. Ahmad Hasan Dani identified it with the place where the famous tower of the Buddha bowl once stood.Prof. S.M. Jaffar, in his monumental book Peshawar: Past and Present, identified it with the place of Hindu pilgrimage where they performed the Sardukahr ritual (shaving off heads).The celebrated Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang, who visited Gandhara in the early 7th Century CE, had paid glowing tribute to the city and the Kanishka stupa in his memoirs. He also talked about a site, which many historians argue refers to Gorkhatri where Buddhas giant bowl was kept.Mughal Emperor Babar, who recorded its importance in his autobiography, visited the place.We had heard stories about GorKhatri, a holy place of the yogisand Hindus who came from long distances for pilgrimageand got their head and beards shaved there. At once I headed for Bigram (or present day Peshawar), saw its famed, ancient tree and surrounding countryside. But much as we enquired about Gor Khatri, our guide Kamari said nothing about it. However, when we were almost back in our camp, he told Khwaja Muhammad Amin that Gor Khatri was in Bigram and that he had said nothing because of its confined cells and narrow passages. Khwaja Amin repeated his words to us. But we could not go back because the road was long and the day was spent.[1]In the early 16th century, Jahanara Begum, daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, built a pavilion at the ancient site,[2] and converted the site into a caravanserai, and named it Sarai Jahanabad. She also constructed a Jama Masjid, a sauna bath and two wells inside Sarai Jahanabad for the convenience of travelers.The Sikhs converted the site into the residence and official headquarters of their mercenary general Paolo Avitabile who was governor of Peshawar from 1838-1842. They constructed a Hindu temple for Shiva there.Gorkhatri is a typical Mughal-era serai and is located on one of the highest points of Peshawar city. It is a fortified compound consisting of an area of 160x160 square meters. It has two prominent gateways: one in the east and one in the west. The Gorakshanath temple is situated in the centre, a network of cells and buildings in the southern and western side of the complex and a fire brigade building, which was built in 1917.Dr. Farzand Ali Durrani initiated the first vertical excavations at Gor Guthrree in 1992-93 but his excavation work could not be completed due to lack of funds. However, he confirmed the city foundation went back to at least the 3rd Century BC.The second round of excavations carried on until 2007 in the north eastern aspect of Gorkhatri pushed Peshawars age by another couple of centuries, officially making it the oldest living city in South Asia.
