Nangarhar Province, Eastern province in Afghanistan
Nangarhar is a province in eastern Afghanistan bordering Pakistan, combining two landscape types: mountain ranges in the south and flat farmland around the capital Jalalabad. The province includes 22 districts and is crossed by rivers that often carry water during winter.
Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms ruled here for centuries until Muslim conquerors took over the region during medieval times. Ahmad Shah Durrani united the area with his newly founded Afghan empire in 1747.
The name comes from a Persian term for nine rivers flowing through the valleys. Many residents speak Pashto and maintain old tribal connections that remain visible in daily life.
The main road to Pakistan runs through the province and connects Kabul with the border crossing at Torkham. Travelers should check current conditions, as security and access can vary.
The plain around Jalalabad allows cultivation of citrus fruits, peanuts and dates, which does not work in higher Afghan provinces. The milder climate also draws visitors from colder parts of the country during winter.
