Attock, on the eastern bank of the Indus, is of key importance as it is here that the Indus is crossed by the military and trade route down through the Khyber Pass. The fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1581 to support his own wars in Afghanistan. It was held by the Sikhs in the 19th century, they had taken it from the Afghans in 1813. The Sikhs yielded it to the British in 1849. The view shows the fort, dramatically poised over the Indus just south of the point where the Kabul river enters it, with the British-built bridge of boats in the distance. The bridge of boats was a vital artery for British forces during all their campaigns in the region until they constructed an iron bridge in 1883. On the bank opposite Attock is the village of Khairabad.

This Place is good for tour , have a clean and peaceful Environment :-)
