Central Highlands
Mountains cover a lot of Afghanistan. One of the biggest ranges is the Hindu Kush which is located in the Central Highlands and is a continuation of the Himalayas. The highlands are made up of high mountains and deep narrow valleys. These physical features have helped the country defend itself because it is a hard region to maneuver.
