Nangarhar Province, Eastern province in Afghanistan

Located at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Nangarhar spans 7,727 square kilometers with mountains in the south and agricultural plains near Jalalabad.

The region changed from Buddhist and Hindu control through various empires until becoming part of Ahmad Shah Durrani's Afghan Empire in 1747.

The population includes 90 percent Pashtun people, with minorities of Tajik, Arab, and Pashai groups living throughout the 22 districts.

The Kabul-Jalalabad-Torkham Highway connects the province to Pakistan, making it a central route for international trade and transportation.

The Jalalabad plain produces distinct agricultural products including lemons, oranges, olives, peanuts, and dates in the subtropical climate.
