Kangarh is a strategically important village of the Tanawal region of Mansehra District in Hazara Division of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. It is usually known as Kangarh Mera, Mera being the twin village just opposite to Kangarh. The population of the village is between 400-600 people. Inhabitants of the Kangarh Village are known to be fierce Pushtun warriors. They belong to the Akazai Clan, which were active in fighting against the British. They were displaced from their original villages by the Nawab of Amb, and some of them settled in the the area of Kangarh. The current leader of the Akazai Clan of the Kangarh Village is His Highness Khan e Azam Khan Haji Aqil Abdul Razzaq Khan Akazai, son of His Highness Khan e Azam Khan Haji Abdul Razzaq Khan Akazai (also currently a Pakistani diplomat), and nephew of Khan e Azam Khan Shehzada Saleem (also known as Seth Sahab).
