Sherwan

Sherwan lies on a ridge in the wooded hills of Tanawal, west of the country of Abbottabad. The valley is enclosed by mountains, with the Mangal River flowing to the south. Tanawal formed part of Pakhli under Turkish rulers, and Sherwan was the seat of the governor of Lower Tanawal. Qias al-Din, the last of these Turkish governors, held office during the third quarter of the eighteenth century.
