What to Know About Murghab

Key Facts

Murghab is a district in Badghis Province, located in the northwestern part of Afghanistan near the Turkmenistan border. The district derives its name from the Murghab River, which flows through the region and provides an essential water source for both agriculture and daily life. With a population estimated between 80,000 and 100,000 people, Murghab is predominantly rural, with communities engaged in farming, animal husbandry, and small-scale trade. Wheat, barley, and livestock such as sheep and goats are the main components of its local economy. The district covers a largely mountainous and semi-arid landscape, where access to infrastructure, healthcare, and education remains limited. Seasonal migration patterns are also common, as families move livestock to higher pastures during the warmer months. Murghab has historically been of strategic importance due to its proximity to international borders, making it a key area for trade and movement in the region. Administratively, the district is divided into numerous villages, each governed by traditional community leadership structures. For modern logistical needs, especially communication and deliveries, the establishment and use of postal code information in Murghab play a vital role in improving connectivity for its scattered settlements.
