About Wakhan Corridor
This narrow strip of Afghan territory extends eastward to touch China along the Pamir Mountains in one of the world's most remote and politically significant geographical features. The corridor represents colonial-era diplomacy creating a buffer state between Russian and British empires. Access requires special permits and guides through one of the planet's most challenging terrain.
