History books record that Alexander's Army which had HUGE cavalry came to a grinding halt when faced by gigantic Elephant based armies of Hindu Kings of Hindustan (Modern day India). In present context Alexander was stopped at the India's north-western most state Punjab's border. The horses being frightened of bigger animals (elephants) would not march forward, handicapping Alexander cavalry. Watch award winner Hollywood epic movie called "Alexander" to learn more.

Another reason would be that his armies would refuse to go any further having just conquered his huge empire. Thus he could not add any more territory to his empire. It is even said that he wept on his deathbed because there was no more land to conquer.
