About LAGHMAN PROVINCE: Laghman is one of several provinces in the remote mountainous regions of eastern Afghanistan. It is one of the few provinces with abundant natural wildlife and lush valleys that remain green all year.
Located along the old Silk Road in the Himalayan foothills, Laghman province enjoyed centuries of cultural exchange with both the East and the West.
With the demise of the old trade routes, today Laghman province is mostly rural and less frequently traveled, but retains its distinctive jewelry tradition.
