The district is in the southwest corner of the province, and is bordered on its northeast side by the Jurm and Zebak Districts. Most of the district's boundaries are adjacent to other Afghan provinces, but a very small section on the eastern edge of the district lies on the international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The epicenter of the 2015 Hindu Kush earthquake occurred 45 km north of here on October 26.
