History
The Kheshgi village in Nowshera District is divided into two regions called Kheshgi Bala and Kheshgi Payan, on the basis of its altitude from the sea level i.e. Bala (above) and Payan (below).[citation needed]
The village dates from 1525 when a branch of the Kheshgi family settled in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and started living on the bank of Kabul River in two villages.The present Kheshgi village is divided into two parts, Kheshgi Bala and Kheshgi Payan. According to the distribution and partition of 1877 both the villages are divided in accordance with the lands into eight Khels.[citation needed]
Kheshgi village is adjacent to the Pakistan Air Force Academy. Nowshera Cantonment is near the village as well just a few kilometers across the Kabul River.[1]
The village also hosts camps for Afghan refugees affected by the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021).[2][3]
