Wah Cantt has the highest literacy rate in South Asia. HistoryWah Cantt is adjacent to Taxila, a small town enriched with one of the most important archaeological sites of the world The name 'Wah' has its roots in the Mughal era with the Mughal emperor Jehangir reported to have coined the name when he was camped at Wah village, originally called 'Jalal Sar' nearby here, en route from a visit to Kashmir. Emperor Jehangir was impressed by the scenery and beauty of that place, so he said "Wah" ('wow') and so the village was named 'Wah' after that exclamation.[4] The Mughal advent had a strong influence on the architecture of the village and whole area which is still visible to date with prominent Mughal sites like the Wah Gardens. EducationThis small city has two chartered universities, one medical college, one engineering college and a large number of schools and colleges. Students from Wah Cantt can be found studying at all the institutes of Pakistan and most major universities of the world. Wah Cantt also has the largest number of bicycles in any city in Pakistan.
