Jaghori District

Jaghori is an administrative district in the southern highlands of the Hazarajat region in Ghazni Province. It spreads across mountainous terrain at high elevation, with scattered villages, farmland, and a central marketplace serving as the main hub for trade and daily life.

The district took its current shape through administrative changes that affected the region over time. An ancient inscription discovered in 2012 provides written evidence of earlier periods and local governance from centuries past.

The district is home to the Hazara people, whose daily life and customs shape the character of villages and markets. Their way of farming, building homes, and gathering in communities reflects generations of living in these highlands.

The area is mountainous and sits at high elevation, so visitors should prepare for rough terrain and unpredictable weather. The main marketplace in the central town serves as the hub for supplies and connections to the wider region.

An ancient inscription from the 8th century, found in 2012, reveals that the area was organized and documented in earlier times. This written record provides rare direct evidence of local leadership and historical events from many centuries ago.
