The Khānabād River (Pashto: د خان اباد سیند; Persian: رود خانآباد) flows in the provinces of Takhar and Kunduz in northern Afghanistan. The Khanabad is a tributary of the Kunduz River, which is in turn a tributary of the Amu River.
Course
The Khanabad rises in the southeast of Takhar Province, in Warsaj District in the Hindu Kush. It flows northwest, and receives a number of glacier-fed tributaries. As far as the small village of Shuri (a little north of Farkhar) the river flows in a narrow valley, then enters a broad plain. Its waters here are much used for irrigation. It then flows through Taloqan, the capital of Takhar Province, and a little distance downstream enters Kunduz Province. It then flows through Khanabad, turns west and flows to the north of Kunduz. It enters the Kunduz River 30 km past Kunduz.
