Gandaf is a town and Union Council of Swabi District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[1] It is located at 34°7'0N 72°41'0E with an altitude of 538 metres (1768 feet).[2] Gandaf is surrounded by a mountain range, and is very close to the Gadoon Amazi industrial estate. Gandaf is the capital village of Area Gadoon where only the Pashtun tribe 'Gadoon' resides.[clarification needed] The Indus River is also attached to this village. Due to the lack of colleges and universities, many Gadoon went to Swabi or to other places.[citation needed]
Gandaf is a dry area and it only depends on rains.[citation needed] It is close to a Tarbela Dam, which is mostly mud. There are small amounts of fields available for agriculture purpose. There is also a lack of hospitals in the area.[citation needed] Gadoon is under the administrative rule of 1952, but to date, basic facilities are still provided. Unemployment rates are also increasing due to the lack of jobs.[citation needed] There is big need for afforestation and plantation.[citation needed]
