Sher Khan Bandar
Sher Khan Bandar is a northern Afghan border town and dry port situated at the border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It is located in Kunduz Province, next to the Panj River, approximately 56 km (35 miles) northwest of Kunduz city. The dry port links Afghanistan with the town of Dushanbe in Tajikistan. The town's former name was Qezel Qal'eh but has since been renamed after a local clan dignitary.
The town grew rapidly after the completion of the Tajikistan–Afghanistan bridge at Panji Poyon in 2007. This bridge allowed for easy transit to Tajikistan, boosting trade between Afghanistan and Central Asia enormously. Hundreds of cargo trucks pass through the town every day, carrying goods from one country to the other.
