It is the main river in the eastern part of Afghanistan. It flows 700&nbsp;km before joining the [[Indus River]] near [[Attock]]. It passes through the cities of Kabul, Chaharbagh, Jalalabad, and (flowing into [[Pakistan]] some 30&nbsp;km north of the [[Khyber Pass]]) Nowshera. The major tributaries of the Kabul River are the Logar, Panjshir, Kunar and Alingar and Bara rivers. == Tributaries == The Kabul river itself is little more than a trickle for most of the year, but swells in summer due to melting snows. Its largest [[tributary]] is the [[Kunar River]], which starts out as the [[Mastuj River]], flowing from the Chiantar glacier in [[Chitral]], Pakistan and once it flows south into Afghanistan it is met by the Bashgal river flowing from [[Nurestan]]. The Kunar meets the Kabul near [[Jalalabad]]. In spite of the Kunar carrying more water than the Kabul, the river continues as the Kabul River after this confluence, mainly for the political and historical significance of the name. It is also called Sardryab near Distt: Charsadda where it provides a fine avenue for recreation and refreshment. Sardryab is famous for its fishing annd having a worthy fish economy. *The '''Swat River''' ({{lang-ur|دریائے سوات}}) flows from the Hindukush Mountains through the Kalam Valley into the Kabul River in the Peshawar valley, [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]], Pakistan. **The '''Panjkora River''' rises rises high in the [[Hindu Kush]] at lat. 35.45 and joins the Swat River near [[Chakdara]], [[Malakand]], Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its name is derived from the [[Persian language|Persian]] for 'panj' (meaning 'five') and 'kora' (meaning 'river'). ==Related pages== *[[List of rivers of Pakistan]] {{multistub|Geo|Asia}} [[C
