Dorah Pass

Dorah Pass, also called Durah Pass, connects Badakshan Province of Afghanistan with Lower Chitral District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

It is located along the Durand Line border and crosses the Hindu Kush mountain range.

Situated at the foot of the pass is Lake Dufferin, also known locally as Hawz-i Dorah.

[1] Dorah Pass became important during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan because the Soviets were unable to stop the flow of arms and men back and forth across the pass.

Dorah Pass is situated in the Pamir, a high plateau sometimes called "The roof of the world" that joins Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and China.
