Kalafgan District is a district of Takhar Province, Afghanistan. The district is well governed, with self-governance in parts of Kalafgan because of how remote they are.[2] 42 villages are located in the district.[3] In 2017, Kalafgan was considered to be under full control by the Afghan Government.[6] However, the Taliban had taken full control by August 2021.[7]
