Ghulam Khan ( Urdu : غلام خان) is a place in northern Waziristan in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa . Until 2018 it was part of the North Waziristan Agency , a federally administered tribal area (FATA). The village is 15 kilometers north of Miranshah .
This place is significant because it is on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan and enables the border crossing from Pakistan to Afghanistan. Along with Chaman and Landi Kotal on the Khyber Pass in Pakistan, Ghulam Khan is one of the three most important Pakistani border crossing points from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
