Hund (Pashto: هنډ), known in antiquity as Udabhandapura,[1] is a small village in Swabi district, situated on the right bank of the Indus River in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is about 15 km upstream of Attock Fort and is located 80 km to the east of Peshawar.

It was the site of Alexander the Great's crossing of the Indus in 327 BC, and an important site of Gandhara ruins.[2] It is also the site of Hund Museum.
