Dāychōpān

Daychopan lies in the rugged uplands north of Qalat, in the southern reaches of Afghanistan's central mountains. Narrow valleys and dry ridges divide its scattered settlements, while seasonal water descends from the higher ground. The mountains give way southward to the plains of the Tarnak and the approaches to Kandahar, making this district part of a varied transition between highland pastures and arid country.
