"Registan Desert" Top 5 Page for this destination Afghanistan Off The Beaten Path Tip by canuckmike

The Registan is a fair sized desert that stretches across the southern Afghan provinces. It is like most deserts, very hot and sandy. Some parts of the desert irrigation canals stretch into bringing some green veins into it and other parts are just barren. One of the things I really didn't like about is was the extremely sharp grass that would poke you through your clothes. One thing to look for are the Kuchi nomads and there temporary settlements although many are displaced now because of a long lasting drought in the region.
