Khandud (Khandut) is a river valley in the Wakhan District of Badakhshan Province in north-eastern Afghanistan.[1][2] The village of Khandud serves as the capital of Wakhan District, and is located near the left bank of the Panj River.[3] It is connected by a road to Ishkashim in the southwest and Sarhad in the east.[4]
Khandud was historically the center of one of the four administrative districts of Wakhan, which extended from Khandut to Digargand, and the site of an aksakal with authority over the Sad-i-Khandut. The Zoroastrian fort of Zamr-i-Atish Parast lay close by.[3]
Around the turn of the 20th century, it housed around 200 people. There was extensive cultivation, including willow for the purposes of firewood, with excellent grazing. More recently, the town seems to have been renamed Khan Daulat, which is listed as being about 18 miles southwest of Kala Panja.[3]
The population of Khandud was estimated in 2003 at approximately 1,244 people.[5] Most of them are the native ethnic Wakhi people of the region.
