The Carry On production team left England for the first and only time for scenes at the Khyber Pass. They were filmed in Beddgelert, Snowdonia, in North Wales.

Carry On... Up The Khyber's original release saw it paired in a double-bill with monster movie King Kong Escapes.
Carry On... Up The Khyber was shot on a budget of just £235,000 - adjusted for inflation, just over £3.6 million in 2013.
