The photographs below are openly licensed documentary images of the corridor’s geography and infrastructure — the railway in northern Afghanistan, the Hairatan and Torghundi border crossings, the Amu Darya, the mountains of Badakhshan.
They are not Wakhan Corridor’s own operational photographs, and nothing on this site presents them as such. They are replaced by the company’s own photography as it becomes available.
