<P> The Wakhan Corridor ( alternatively Vakhan Corridor , or Wakhan ) is the narrow strip of territory in northeastern Afghanistan that extends to China and separates Tajikistan from Pakistan . The corridor , wedged between the Pamir Mountains to the north and the Karakoram range to the south , is about 350 km ( 220 mi ) long and 13 -- 65 kilometres ( 8 -- 40 mi ) wide . From this high mountain valley the Panj and Pamir Rivers emerge and form the Amu Darya . A trade route through the valley has been used by travellers going to and from East , South and Central Asia since antiquity . The term `` Wakhan Corridor '' can also refer to this constituent valley and the historical trade route through it . The closure of the Afghan - Chinese border crossing at the Wakhjir Pass , on the east end of the Wakhan Corridor , has left the valley bereft of trade . </P>
