Kajiran (Qala i Naw) is the capital of Badakhshan Province in Afghanistan, located in the northeast of the country near the Tajikistan border in a river valley at the eastern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains. The predominantly Tajik city, at an altitude of about 1,200 meters above sea level, has a pleasant climate with cool summers and snowy winters. As the political and economic center of Badakhshan province, Kajran is primarily agricultural, producing wheat, barley and fruit, and is famous for its handicrafts such as lapis lazuli carvings - the region is rich in deposits of lapis lazuli and has been an important trade node on the Silk Road since ancient times. The city is small but retains a traditional Central Asian flavor, with mosques and bazaars, a Dari-speaking population, and a relaxed pace of life, making it a gateway for exploring the nature and people of northeastern Afghanistan.
