 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa culture dress

The traditional clothing for the lower region is the khat

partug which is a shalwar kameez combination and is worn by men
and women. The khat (also called khattaki or in Marwat Pashtu,
kamis)] is the shirt which fits closely to the body to the waist and
then flares out, either to the knees, or in the case of women, to the
ankles. The khat worn by women can be elaborately embroidered at
the neck with needle work.
The partug (also called pardig) is a loose shalwar which has many
folds and is loosely brought together at the ankles. Men also wear a
turban and a scarf (called patkai), while women wear a head scarf.
 •Rice haleem, chapli kabab,
tika, and mutton karahi are the
khyber most famous dishes. Historical
pakhtunkhwa variations include Peshawari
cuisine. The Pashtun and Balochi
culture food cuisines are traditionally non-
spicy.
