Afghanistan is a landlocked, mountainous country located in Central and South Asia. It has four seasons and contains parts of the Hindu Kush mountain range, with the highest peak reaching 7,492 meters. The climate is generally dry, with scarce rainfall affecting mainly the northern highlands in March and April. Major rivers include the Amu Darya, Arghandab, Farah, Hari, Helmand, Kabul, Kokcha, and Kunar, though most fresh water flows into neighboring countries.

3. Afghanistan is a landlocked mountainous country located on the Plateau, at the
crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia. The country is the 40th largest in the world in
size. Kabul is the capital and largest city of Afghanistan, located in the Kabul province.
With a location at the intersection of major trade routes, Afghanistan has attracted a
succession of invaders since the sixth century BCE. Afghanistan contains most of
the Hindu Kosh. There are a number of major rivers in the country, including Amu
Darya, Arghandab, Farah, Hari, Helmand, Kabul, Kokcha, and Kunar. The country also
possesses many smaller rivers as well as streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and springs.
Most of its fresh water has been historically flowing into neighboring countries.

4. Climate
Rainfall in Afghanistan is very scarce, and
mainly only affects the northern
highlands, arriving in March and April.
Rainfall in the more arid lowlands is rare,
and can be very unpredictable. Marked
characteristics are the great differences of
summer and winter temperature and of
day and night temperature, as well as the
extent to which change of climate can be
attained by slight change of place. The
Afghan climate is a dry one. The sun
shines for three-fourths of the year, and
the nights are clearer than the days.
Taking the highlands of the country as a
whole, there is no great difference between
the mean temperature of Afghanistan and
that of the lower Himalaya.
5. Mountain System
The Hindu Kush mountain range reaches a height of 7,492 m at Noshaq, Afghanistan's highest peak. Of the ranges
extending southwestward from the Hindu Kush, the Foladi peak (Shah Foladi) of the Baba mountain range (Koh-i-Baba)
reaches the greatest height: 5,142 m. The Safed Koh range, which includes the Tora Bora area, dominates the border
area southeast of Kabul.
Important passes include the Unai Pass across the Safed Koh, the Kushan and Salang Passes through the Hindu
Kush, and the Khyber Pass that connects Afghanistan with Pakistan.
6. Rivers, streams and lakes
Afghanistan receives snow between November and March, which gradually melts into
numerous rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and springs, but most of the country's fresh
water continues to flow into neighboring countries. It loses about two-thirds of its water to
neighboring Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
