Nuristan Valley

Nuristan Valley is a remote, mountainous region in eastern Afghanistan, known for its rugged terrain and rich, diverse cultures. Historically called "Nuristan," meaning "Land of Light," it was once isolated due to its difficult landscape, which helped preserve unique languages and traditions. The valley is characterized by lush forests, steep slopes, and small villages perched on mountain sides. Its inhabitants are primarily Nuristani people, who have a distinct identity and history. The area remains relatively remote and less developed, making it a place of cultural significance and natural beauty within Afghanistan.
