Kahan

Kahan, also called Kahun, lies in a remote valley among the Marri hills of Baluchistan. The valley opens into a plain enclosed by rugged uplands, and Kahan has been associated with the chief of the Marri Baloch. A fort stood here in this difficult mountain country, where routes through the hills linked scattered communities. Its isolated position made the settlement a local centre rather than a town of the neighbouring plains.
