The central Afghan highlands, or the Afghan Highlands (Dari/Persian: افغانستان کوهستانی; Pashto: غرنی افغانستان), is a geographic region of Afghanistan. Stretching from the Sabzak Pass near Herat in the west to the Little Pamir in the northeast, it includes the main Hindu Kush range and forms a western extension of the Himalayas. It is a highland area of more than 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level, mostly situated between 2,000 and 3,000 m (6,500 and 9,800 ft), with some peaks rising above 6,400 m (21,000 ft). Usually, the valley bottoms in the area are used for cereal and horticultural production, and the mountains and high plateaus are used as pasture in summer for grazing sheep, goats, cattle, and camels. Its total area is about 414,000 km2 (160,000 sq mi).

  • The central Afghan highlands, or the Afghan Highlands (Dari/Persian: افغانستان کوهستانی; Pashto: غرنی افغانستان), is a geographic region of Afghanistan. Stretching from the Sabzak Pass near Herat in the west to the Little Pamir in the northeast, it includes the main Hindu Kush range and forms a western extension of the Himalayas. It is a highland area of more than 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level, mostly situated between 2,000 and 3,000 m (6,500 and 9,800 ft), with some peaks rising above 6,400 m (21,000 ft). Usually, the valley bottoms in the area are used for cereal and horticultural production, and the mountains and high plateaus are used as pasture in summer for grazing sheep, goats, cattle, and camels. Its total area is about 414,000 km2 (160,000 sq mi). The region contains about 225,000 km2 (87,000 sq mi) of summer pasture, which is used by both settled communities and nomadic pastoralists like the Kuchis. Major pastures in the region include the Nawur pasture in northern Ghazni Province (whose area is about 600 km2 at elevation of up to 3,350 m), and the Shewa pasture and the Little Pamir in eastern Badakhshan Province. The Little Pamir pasture, whose elevation is above 4,000 m (13,000 ft), is used by the Afghan Kyrgyz to raise livestock. The region includes Bamyan, Ghazni, Ghor, Logar, Nuristan, Paktia, Paktika, Panjshir, Parwan, and Wardak provinces, most of Badakhshan, Daykundi, Kabul, and Zabul, and adjacent parts of some neighboring provinces. It is inhabited by the Chahar Aimaq, Hazaras, Kyrgyz, Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Wakhis, and other tribes. (en)
  • Las tierras altas centrales afganas, o tierras altas afganas (dari/persa: افغانستان کوهستانی; pastún: غرنی افغانستان), es una región geográfica de Afganistán. Se extiende desde el paso de Sabzak, cerca de Herat, en el oeste, hasta el Pequeño Pamir, en el noreste, e incluye la cordillera principal del Hindú Kush y forma una extensión occidental del Himalaya. Es una zona de tierras altas de más de 1.500 m sobre el nivel del mar, situada en su mayoría entre 2.000 y 3.000 m, con algunos picos que se elevan por encima de los 6.400 m. Normalmente, los fondos de los valles de la zona se destinan a la producción de cereales y hortalizas, y las montañas y altiplanos se utilizan como pastos en verano para el pastoreo de ovejas, cabras, vacas y camellos. Su superficie total es de unos 414.000 km². ​ ​ La región cuenta con unos 225.000 km² de pastos de verano, que utilizan tanto las comunidades asentadas como los pastores nómadas, como los kuchis. Las principales zonas de pastos de la región son la de Nawur, en la provincia septentrional de Gazni (con una superficie de unos 600 km² y una altitud de hasta 3.350 m), y la de Shewa y el Pequeño Pamir, en la provincia oriental de Badajshán. El pasto del Pequeño Pamir, cuya altitud supera los 4.000 m, es utilizado por los kirguises afganos para la cría de ganado. ​ La región incluye las provincias de Bamiyán, Gazni, Gaur, Laugar, Nuristán, Paktiyá, Paktiká, Panjshir, Paruán y Vardak, la mayor parte de Badajshán, Daikondi, Kabul y Zabul, y partes adyacentes de algunas provincias vecinas.
