The Korengal Valley is a remote and rugged valley located in the eastern part of Afghanistan, specifically in the Kunar Province. It is known for its steep terrain and dense forests, making it a challenging area for both military operations and civilian life. The valley has been a significant site during the War in Afghanistan, often associated with intense combat and strategic importance. The valley is home to several small villages and is inhabited by the Kochi people, who traditionally engage in agriculture and livestock herding. The region's isolation and difficult access have contributed to its unique cultural identity, as well as its historical significance in the broader context of Afghan conflicts.
