Chaghcharan District

Chaghcharan District (Dari: ولسوالی چغچران) is a district in Ghor province in Afghanistan. It lies in the high altitude region in central Afghanistan. Its rugged geography, harsh winters and limited infrastructure, has led to the development of isolate communities with low literacy. While agriculture and livestock sustain its population, development projects in the 21st century have begun to enhance transport, water, and municipal services. Rich in Ghurid-era remnants such as the Minaret of Jam and ancient forts, the region retains a historical significance.
