About Our Heritage ( Khanabadosh Research & Exploration Society )

Mission / Vision


Khanabadosh sounds a strange appellation for an academic NGO, devoted to scientific studies and archaeological assessment of primitive hominid groups who first occupied the Potohar Plateau of Pakistan in remote antiquity of the Pleistocene Age, about 2.0 million years ago.

Khanabadosh Research and Exploration Society, created about three years back by young devotees to the National Geographic.

Literally meaning a ‘nomad’ the name carries a poetic or philosophic connotation to self-less gleaners of knowledge who projected and transmitted their findings to others without seeking any material returns for their own gain. This is in acknowledgement of the services of the nomadic tribes in ancient times who played their silent role in propagating the cultural elements from one region to another, and thereby in homogenizing the social differences of mankind.

The Society has a vast scope of initiating and reviving the traditions of field researches in Pakistan from the coastal strip of the Arabian Sea in the south to the Karakoram and Himalayan Mountain Chains in the North

It is envisaged to be devoted exclusively to academic researches and publications on Environmental Sciences, Natural History, Archaeology, Anthropology and other relevant fields of intellectual enquiries, with main focus centered upon new findings in the History of Mankind and the Cultural evolution.
