Many cave entrances high up in the cliff walls (note 1) saw Jane M. Wilson (in DURRANT et al. 1979: 21) with the help of binoculars near Khanpur Dam (note 2) from the road connecting Peshawar (N34°00'30”: E71°34'22” WGS84) with Rawalpindi (N33°36': E73°04') and Taxila (N33°45'35”: E72°50'15” WGS84). Possibly identical with the caves seen from the road at –>Haripur (Brooks 1990). Is this (part) of the Jaulian Monastery (N33°45'53”: E72°52'27”) ?Many cave entrances high up in the cliff walls (note 1) saw Jane M.
