Udabhandapura

Also known as Hund

Udabhandapura, modern Hund in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was a city on the right bank of the Indus above Attock, at a main crossing of the river. It became the capital of the Hindu Shahi kings after they lost Kabul in the late 9th century, and Alexander the Great is thought to have crossed the Indus nearby.
