Company

Afghan-owned, rail-focused, and built on the corridor it runs.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Kabul, Wakhan Corridor moves containers between China, Central Asia and Afghanistan.

A corridor is a narrow thing that connects two worlds.

The Wakhan Corridor is a narrow strip of high country in Afghanistan's Badakhshan, reaching east until it touches China. It is the company's namesake and the reason for its mark: a single unbroken line that crosses itself.

The company's container operations run north and west, through Hairatan and Torghundi.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Kabul, Wakhan Corridor is a fully Afghan-owned rail container logistics and transit forwarding company.
