WAKHAN

This narrow strip of land once formed the buffer zone between the British & Russian Empires and was of immense strategic importance during the 19th century Great Game.

The corridor was a political creation of the Great Game. The Anglo-Russian Boundary Commission of 1895-1896 demarcated the land as a buffer between British India and the Russian Central Asia. Once part of the Silk Road, the Wakhan Corridor has been closed to border traffic for almost 100 years due to political reasons.
