KAAKHKA KALA

The village of Rin has only about a hundred houses, but its inhabitants have their own language! In front of the ruins of the fortress, the oston Shoh-i-Mardon was recently restored by its guardian. A small building houses the sacred stones and arkhar horns.

You can stroll through the remains of the Kaakhka Kala citadel, also known as Iagba. The fortified city dates back to the Kushan Empire (1st century BC to 3rd century AD) and controlled trade between the Pianj and Vardjoub valleys in Afghanistan.
