Makhad (Urdu: مکھڈ ) is a historical town in Attock District of northern Punjab Province in Pakistan.[1] It is one of the last towns separating the Punjab from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,[2] and is the place where Soan River falls into the fast-flowing Indus River.[3]
People groups of Makhad include the major Paracha clan which are settled through Gandhara to Attock. There are also descendants of the Khattak tribe.[4]
