Badakhshan Province in northeastern Afghanistan is a mountainous region known for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse cultures. It borders Tajikistan, Pakistan, and China, and is rich in natural resources like minerals and water from the Pamir Mountains. The province's economy relies heavily on agriculture, livestock, and artisanal mining. It has a sparse population spread across rugged terrain, with traditional communities adhering to local customs.
