Shahrak District

Shahrak District is located in the western part of Ghor province, Afghanistan.

The district suffers from a weak economy and severe poverty due to lack of road linkage between villages and district centre, low level of agriculture and livestock productions, inaccessibility to healthcare services and security problems.

Shahrak features a mediterranean-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen: Dsb) with warm summers and cold, snowy winters.
