The conformation of the mountain districts, which comprise all the southern districts of Badakhshan and the northern hills and valleys of Nuristan (the former Kafiristan), is analogous to that of the rest of the Hindu Kush westwards.
Sammensætningen af bjergdistrikterne, som består af alle de sydlige distrikter i Badahshan og de nordlige bjerge og dalene i Nurestan (tidligere Kafiristan), ligner resten af Hindu Kush mod vest.
