Kus̄k-e Kohneh

Kushk-e Kuhna, the old Kushk, lies northeast of Herat beside a stream of the same name. The surrounding country belongs to the valleys and uplands north of the Hari River. To the west, the Kushk River provides a route northward from the Herat region toward the plains beyond the mountains. These neighbouring valleys cut through a landscape of ridges between the fertile Hari basin and the drier country of Badghis.
