Jandol (also called Jandool or Jandul) was a minor Pashtun princely state at the time of the British Raj. It was established circa 1830, with its capital at Barwa (modern Samarbagh). Umra Khan was probably its most prominent ruler. It became a part of the princely state of Dir and later of Pakistan as a result of the integration of the princely states of Pakistan.
