Wakhan Corridor

Narrow strip of land in Afghanistan

The Wakhan Corridor is a protruding strip of territory that is part of the Wakhan District in the Badakhshan Province of Afghanistan. It begins in Afghanistan's northeastern corner and stretches eastward, connecting the country to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region within China. The strip narrowly separates the Badakhshan Mountainous Autonomous Region in Tajikistan from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan.
