Kulob (Kulyab), the third-largest city in southwestern Tajikistan, lies in the mountains north of the Amu Dar'ya River.
The city is situated in the Yaksu River valley, in the piedmont zone of the Khazaratish range, 200 kilometers southeast of Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe.
The Kulob region was the hardest hit during the civil war in Tajikistan (1992–1997).
It is situated in the southwest of the country, between the Hissar range in the north and the Panj River in the south and borders on Afghanistan in the southeast and on Uzbekistan in the west.
The eastern part â Kulob â is home to the president and his clan and has thus gained a lot of political influence.
