Qargha (Dari: قرغه; Pashto: قرغې) is a town located to the west of Kabul, Afghanistan, where many people go for recreation and entertainment purposes. Its main attraction is the Qargha Dam, which is named after the town. There are also parks, amusement rides, boat rides, horse rides, and many Afghan restaurants with open lounge areas.[1]
Located east of the town sits the former Camp Qargha of the larger National Military Academy of Afghanistan.[2] A few miles to the northwest is Paghman. Both towns attract many local and foreign tourists, especially during public holidays.[3][4]
