Chinglai is an administrative unit, known as Union council of Buner District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

Village chinglai ( mentioned as Chinglee by English writers) has undiscovered ruins of gandahara civilizations.

The ancient remains of chinglai could be found in the eastern part called " bhru" across the main stream of the village.

To prove the second theory people present the name of Darand a pass that connect valley of Chinglai to Regions of Swabi.

According to these people Darand is short form of Dara-e-Hind, means road or path leading to India.
