Qala-e Mafushad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qala-e Mafushad is the easternmost village in Afghanistan, near the Chinese border.[1][unreliable source?] It is a Kyrgyz settlement in the Little Pamir, east of Lake Chaqmaqtin, in the Wakhan. Due to its favourable geographic location, it has been proposed as a terminus of a future rail corridor (Corridor 6) of the Afghanistan National Railway Plan, which would allow goods to be transferred through it to Xinjiang.[2]
