Paropamisus, Mountain ranges in northwestern Afghanistan.
The Paropamisus Range extends 480 kilometers from the Hindu Kush westward, with peaks reaching elevations of 3,350 meters above sea level.
Ancient trade routes connecting Afghanistan to neighboring regions passed through the Paropamisus mountains, marking their position on historical maps since 1873.
Local communities near the Paropamisus mountains have adapted their agricultural practices to the mountainous terrain, establishing settlements in river oases.
The mountain range contains deposits of silver and lead, while the Murgab and Hari Rud rivers originate from its slopes.
The mountain system creates multiple microclimates, resulting in temperature variations between lower elevations and mountain peaks throughout the seasons.
