Gandhara - Geography
The Gandharas were settled since the Vedic times on the south bank of Kabul River (river Kubha or Kabol) up to its mouth into Indus itself. Later the Gandhras crossed the Indus and invaded into parts of north-west Punjab of Pakistan. Gandhara was located on the grand northern high road (Uttarapatha) and was a centre of international commercial activities. It was an important channel of communication with ancient Iran and Central Asia.
The boundaries of Gandhara varied throughout the history. Sometime Peshawar valley and Taxila collectively referred as Gandhara. Sometime Swat valley was also included. However, heart of Gandhara was always Peshawar valley. The kingdom was ruled from capitals at Pushkalavati (Charsadda), Taxila, Purushapura (Peshawar) and in its final days from Udabhandapura (Hund) on the Indus.
