Baghrān

Baghran lies in the mountains of northern Helmand, at the head of the Musa Qala valley. The Musa Qala River rises in the Baghran district and runs south to join the Helmand near Sangin. Fields occupy parts of the valley floor, while the surrounding ridges rise above the river’s narrow catchment. Baghran belongs to the northern reaches of the country historically known as Zamindawar.
