Attock Tehsil (in Punjabi and Urdu: تحصیل اٹک) is one of the six tehsils of Attock District in the Punjab Province of Pakistan.[1]
The Indus River bounds it on the north-west, dividing it from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while the Haro River flows through from east to west.[2]
The north-west corner is occupied by the fertile Chach Valley. South of this lies a dry sandy plain, beyond which rises the Kala Chitta Range. The eastern half consists of the tract known as the Nala, which includes, along with a number of low hills and much broken country, a considerable area of fairly good level land, portions of which are irrigated from wells and by cuts from the Haro and other smaller streams.[3]
The major language spoken in the tehsil is Hindko followed by Pashto.
