Karkhano (Pashto: کارخانو) is a market area on the western side of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Located in the Hayatabad suburb of the city,[1] it is located near the Khyber District, which in turn borders Afghanistan. It is considered to be the largest business hub in Peshawar.[2]
Established in 1985, it had around 22 shopping plazas containing 5,000 to 7,000 shops in its heyday, owned by Pashtun traders. The name Kārkhānō means "industries" in the Pashto language.[2]
