Beka is a town and Union Council of Swabi District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. It is part of Lahor Tehsil.
The modern Beka was founded by Nawab Nehmat Khan Yousafzai at the request of a British Army Major, who sought to establish a suitable settlement in the area. The original Beka was submerged due to the diversion of the Indus River, an event that occurred approximately 300 years ago. As a result, several new villages emerged, including Beka Dari, Nabi, Salah, and Haryan.
The village is home to various tribal communities, including Taju Khel, Khattak, Bacha Sahib, Hasan Khel, Balarkhel, and Mughal, who have lived together in harmony for generations.
