Panjwayi District

The district stands at 1127 meters above sea level, with agricultural lands extending across valleys near the Arghandab River in southern Afghanistan.

Canadian Forces conducted Operation Medusa in September 2006, engaging in direct combat with Taliban fighters and claiming to neutralize over 500 insurgents.

The population includes farmers who maintain traditional agricultural methods, cultivating various crops through systems managed by the Helmand and Arghandab Valley Authority.

Access to the district requires coordination with local authorities, as infrastructure remains limited and security conditions can change rapidly throughout the region.

The district center, Bazar-i-Panjwayi, functions as a regional hub positioned strategically in the northern section near the Arghandab River waterway.
