Manhala (منہالہ خان خاناں), also known as Manhala Khan-e-Khanan, is a historic town located in the Lahore District of Punjab, Pakistan. Situated near the India–Pakistan border, it is one of the largest settlements in the Wagah tehsil, located east of the BRB Canal.
== History == The town was founded in the 1590s during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar by his prominent minister, Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan. Due to its strategic location on the original imperial highway (the historic route connecting Lahore, Delhi and Agra), it served as an important stop for travelers during the Mughal era. thumb|Remnants of the Sarai built by Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan in Manhala
