Geography

The Pamir River, abounding out of Lake Zorkul, forms the arctic bound of the corridor. The Wakhan River passes through the aisle from the east to Kala-i-Panj, abutting the Pamir River to become the Panj River.

In the south, the aisle is belted by the aerial mountains of the Hindu Kush, beyond by the Broghol pass, the Irshad Canyon and the anachronistic Dilisang Pass6 to Pakistan.

At the eastern border, the Wakhjir Canyon through the Hindu Kush at 4,923 m (16,152 ft), is one of the accomplished in the world.2 The Wakhjir Canyon has the greatest official change of clocks of any all-embracing borderland (UTC+4:30 in Afghanistan to UTC+8, China Standard Time, in China)citation needed.
