About

Lor Koh is a 2,492 metres high mountain, southeast of the city of Farah in western Afghanistan. The mountain was renamed Sharafat Koh (Honor Mountain) by the Afghan mujahideen after they established a stronghold there in 1979. The Afghan communists referred to the mountain as Mordar Koh (Filthy Mountain).
