Khojak Tunnel

The Khojak Tunnel (Urdu, Khojak Sarang), is a 3.91 km (2.43 mi) railway tunnel in the Toba Achakzai range in the Qilla Abdullah District of Balochistan province, Pakistan. It is located 1,945 m (6, 381 ft) above sea level under the Khojak Pass. The tunnel was completed in 1891 by the British Raj. It was part of the Rohri–Chaman Line, which opened in 1879 through the North-West Frontier Province. The tunnel is one of the longest tunnels in South Asia, and was the longest in Pakistan until superseded by the 8.75 km (5.44 mi) Lowari Tunnel in 2018. Its civil engineering stature resulted in it being featured on a post-Independence Pakistani Five Rupee banknote.
