Salang River

The Salang is a 438-kilometre long river of Afghanistan, flowing through Parwan Province. It is a tributary of the Indus River and the Ghorband River and the Panjshir River and the Kabul River.

Geography
The Salang River originates on the south side of the central Hindu Kush mountains in the north-east of Salang Pass, which links the region to Kabul with the northern part of the country.

Its valley and the Salang Pass form an important international waterway. It is north–south oriented. The Salang flows into the Ghorband River at Jabal Saraj in Parwan. In Jabal Saraj, the average annual flow module between 1961 and 1964 was about 763 millimeters per year, which is considered a high rate.
