It borders with <a href="/wiki/Nangarhar_Province" title="Nangarhar Province">Nangarhar Province</a> to the south, <a href="/wiki/Nuristan_Province" title="Nuristan Province">Nuristan Province</a> to the north, <a href="/wiki/Laghman_Province" title="Laghman Province">Laghman Province</a> to the west and has a border with <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a> in the east. The province covers an area of 4,339 km<sup>2</sup>. Nearly nine tenths (86%) of the province is mountainous or semi mountainous terrain while one eighth (12%) of the area is made up of relatively flat land. The primary geographic features of the province are the lower <a href="/wiki/Hindu_Kush" title="Hindu Kush">Hindu Kush</a> mountains which are cut by the <a href="/wiki/Kunar_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Kunar River">Kunar River</a> to form the forested <a href="/wiki/Kunar_Valley" title="Kunar Valley">Kunar Valley</a>. The river flows south and southwest from its source in the <a href="/wiki/Pamir_Mountains" title="Pamir Mountains">Pamir</a> area and is part of the <a href="/wiki/Indus_River" title="Indus River">Indus River</a> watershed via the <a href="/wiki/Kabul_River" title="Kabul River">Kabul River</a> which it meets at Jalalabad. The Kunar is a primary draining conduit for the Hindu Kush basin and several tributaries, including the <a href="/wiki/Pech_River" title="Pech River">Pech</a>, which form distinct and significant valleys in the area. The mountains, narrow valleys with steep walls, and rivers present formidable natural obstacles and have historically constrained all movement through the province. Even in the early 21st century, movement on foot, with pack animals, or with motorized vehicles is extremely limited and channeled due to the significant geographic restrictions. </p> <div
