Panjwayi District

Panjwayi is a district in Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan. The area stretches across agricultural valleys near the Arghandab River and sits at roughly 1100 meters elevation.

The area was the site of military operations in 2006 when Canadian and international forces were active there. This period marked a significant turning point in the region's history.

The local population maintains fruit orchards and crop fields that have passed through families for generations. This farming tradition shapes daily life and community bonds in the area today.

Visitors should check with local authorities about safe access routes since conditions remain variable across the area. Infrastructure for visitors is minimal, so advance planning is essential.

The bazaar at the center serves as a regional trading hub and social meeting point for surrounding villages. Here the economic and social life of the entire region converges.
