Alexandria Hyphasis, near Amritsar, marks the easternmost point of Alexander the Great's conquests. Here, in 326 BCE, his army mutinied at the Hyphasis River (now Beas), forcing his retreat. The site is historically significant as the location of Alexander's last battle and the founding of a city. Today, visitors can explore the riverbank and imagine the ancient encampment, with interpretive signs explaining the events. It's a quiet, contemplative spot for history enthusiasts.
