The Panjshir Valley (also spelled Panjsher or Dara-i-Panjshir; Dari: درهٔ پنجشير ; literally Valley of the Five Lions) is a valley in northeastern Afghanistan, 150 kilometres (93 mi) north of Kabul, near the Hindu Kush mountain range.[1] It is divided by the Panjshir River. The valley is home to more than 100,000 people, including Afghanistan's largest concentration of ethnic Tajiks as of 1997.[2] In April 2004, it became the heart of the new Panjshir Province, having previously been part of Parwan Province.[3] Politically, this province has been considered the start point of Afghanistan's Jihad period against the Soviets. This province is also the birthplace of Afghanistan's national hero,[citation needed] Ahmad Shah Masoud.
