Answer: Khyber Pass
Notes: Timur, a Turco-Mongol conqueror, invaded India in 1398, during the rule of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud of the Tughlaq dynasty. The invasion was aimed at looting the wealth of Delhi and asserting dominance rather than territorial conquest. Timur entered India through the Khyber Pass, a historically significant pathway for invaders due to its strategic location between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
