Ghoriah Khel is a Pashtun tribe settled in the town of Peshawar valley in North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. The legendary Pashto poet Rahman Baba also belonged to this tribe.
Ghourghushti
Ghorghushti refers to the Pashtun sub-tribes that are descended from Ghorghusht, one of Qais Abdur Rashid's sons. According to Pashtun oral history, Ghourghusht had only one son who was named Dani.
Below are some of the sub-tribes present today that claim descent from Ghorghusht:
Kakar
Mando
Gadun
Safi
Many of the people belonging to these sub-tribes reside in the Attock District of Pakistan, and speak Hindko as opposed to Pashto as their mother tongue.
Unofficially the region encompassing Attock is called Chach and the Pashtuns living there are usually called Chach Pashtuns. Chach Pashtuns are revered for their vicious fighting ability in ancient times and more recently for their many advancements in education, culture, and society.
