Panjwayi District

Panjwayi (Pashto: پنجوايي) is one of the districts of Kandahar Province, in southern Afghanistan. It has an estimated population of 107,294 people. Panjwayi Bazaar serves as the district center, which is located about 35 km (22 mi) west of Kandahar.

Panjwayi borders Helmand Province to the southwest, Maywand District to the west, Zhari District to the north, Arghandab, Kandahar and Daman districts to the east and Reg District to the south. Panjwayi was reduced in size in 2004 when Zhari District was created out of the northern part of it, on the northern side of the Arghandab River, which now forms the northern boundary. The area is irrigated by the Helmand and Arghandab Valley Authority.
