Wah Cantt

Wah Cantt is adjacent to Taxila, a small town enriched with one of the most important archaeological sites of the world. The name 'Wah' has its roots in the Mughal era with the Mughal emperor Jehangir reported to have coined the name when his army was stationed here en route from a mission. Emperor Jehangir was impressed by the scenery of this place, so he said "Wah" ('wow') and this place was named 'Wah' after that exclamation.
