Khaysār

Khaysar lies among the dry hills east of the Adraskan valley in western Afghanistan. The Siah Koh mountains drain towards the Adraskan River, which is joined by the Rud-i Gaz near Shindand. Farther south the river is known as the Harut, and its waters continue toward the Sistan basin. Bare slopes and pasture cover much of its mountain catchment.
