<p>The Peshawar Basin in northern Pakistan represents a geologically and culturally significant region with enormous potential for geotourism development. Despite this, its geotourism resources remain underexplored. This study evaluates key geosites within the entire basin, emphasizing their scientific, educational, and cultural significance. Two established assessment approaches including the Geosite Assessment Model (GAM) and the Brilha Method (BM), are applied to four representative sites: Quaternary sand deposits, the Devonian reef of the Nowshera Formation, Rhyolite deposits of the Gohati area, and the junction of the Kabul and Indus rivers associated with the Gandhara Civilization. While two of these sites have been previously studied, this research provides an integrated evaluation of the overall geotourism potential of the Peshawar Basin. Results indicate high geotourism and educational value, particularly for river junction. The basin also preserves an important Quaternary sedimentary record, offering insights into recent past climatic variations and their influence on human settlement. However, increasing pressures from mining and urbanization pose significant threats to these sites. To promote sustainable geotourism and support economic development, it is recommended that these sites be designated as protected areas and that collaborative initiatives between governmental and academic institutions be strengthened. Such measures could establish the Peshawar Basin as a prominent geotourism destination at both national and international levels.</p>
