Alladand Dheri is a village which consists of two union councils Alladand and Dheri respectively in the Swat Ranizai Tehsil of Malakand District of Pakistan. Alladand Dheri is situated in the mid of Malakand and is one of the well-known towns in Pashtun lands,[citation needed] known for its history, natural environment and hospitality.[1] It is considered the oldest home of Yousufzai Tribe when they migrated from Afghanistan and settled in Alladand Dheri.[citation needed] The chief of Yousufzai tribe and founder of free Pakhtunkhwa state, Malak Ahmad baba made it capital of the new state. The Pashtun leader Malak Ahmad baba is buried in Alladand Dheri. People of Alladand Dheri are entirely Pashtun. Some important tribes that reside in the village are yousufzai (majority) shalmani, miagan and some non-pashtoon tribe. Alladand is fertile and is irrigated by River Swat. It shares a major part of supply of fruits and vegetables from Malakand District to whole Pakistan.[2][need quotation to verify]
