# Geographic_Notes🗞 🔶Wakhan, The Nose of Afghanistan:

The 100-kilometer valley of #Wakhan, which also has a history [Ishkashim / Silk Road], is included in Marco Polo's famous travelogue and is now the eastern district of #Badakhshan province with a population of 40,000 and is known as the Wakhanis.

History tells me that 5 years ago the Wakhi / Wakhian tribe went to Wakhan to graze their cattle and after a long time there went to Wakhian.

With the advent of Islam they became Ismaili Shiites who later became mostly Sunnis.

The people of Wakhan are said to have fled to the valleys and mountains when the powerful Seljuk minister in Iran and Syria narrowed the circle of the Assassins or Ismailis, which did not reach the Seljuk minister Nizamulk. The Ismailis who settled there started preaching and some people of Badakhshan converted to Ismaili religion. Also settled in Baghlan, Kabul and other areas ...

Wakhan was the center of the Cold War between the British and the Russians two centuries ago and would have been under Russian surveillance.

Wakhan is the golden geography of Afghanistan which is connected with three great mountain ranges like Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Pamir ...

The Pamirs are one of the most important mountains in the province.

In an interesting video commentary on the Pamirs ...

The Wakhan Corridor:

High in the Pamir and Karakoram mountains, the Wakhan Corridor is a sliver of northeastern Afghan territory that separates Pakistan from Tajikistan and forms Afghanistan's border with China. Glaciers, high mountains, and sub-zero temperatures have so far prevented the remote region from becoming a hub of connectivity and trade between the four nations.
