Vakhs

Wakhsh was the name of a fertile district in the country of Khuttal, watered by the river of the same name. Medieval geographers praised its horses and beasts of burden and described fields and orchards along its many streams. Among its towns were Lawakand, on the Vakhsh below the Stone Bridge, and Halaward, which one writer judged finer than Khuttal's capital at Hulbuk.
