Badze-1
Khyber PakhtunkhwaRock ShelterProtected
On the right side i.e. east of Kandak valley, several painted shelters have been found along the rocky precipice of a deep ravine. The shelter at Badze-1 is extremely small, low and accessible with difficulty due to its position on the edge of the ravine. The human figures in this shelter are poorly carved and could be identified with difficulty. Similarly, other signs cannot be identified. Bazde-2 is a niche like shelter consisting of a round, vertical erosive cavity, located just east of the Badze-1. It hosts traces of paintings and they are barely visible.
