Helmand River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Helmand River is the longest river in Afghanistan. It rises in the Hindu Kush in the east of the country, flows roughly south-west for about 800 miles, and empties into marshland near the border with Iran.

The Helmand has been suggested as a possible identity of the Vedic Saraswati River.
