Sangao is a small village at the North West end of the Katlang area of District Mardan (North West Frontier Province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Its population is unknown but certainly very small. Towards the North East of the village there is a series of mountains arranged in a half circle. In the southern region of Sangao lies another village called Babozai. The next door neighbor of the South West border is the Mian Khan village. These villages are so close that often people call them all by one name: Mian Khan-Sangao. Caves lie in the mountains of Sangao that contain ancient history. However, these caves have yet to be explored and are therefore of special interest to historians, explorers, and adventurers. Recently a new road has been constructed linking Sangao to Buner District. The road runs through the mountains of the village.
