The Bartang ( Russian Барта́нг ) is a 133 km long right tributary of the Pandsch in the autonomous province of Berg-Badachschan in eastern Tajikistan .
The Bartang arises centrally in Berg-Badachschan at an altitude of 2595 m in the Pamir Mountains through the confluence of the Murgab and Kudara, west of Barchidev . To the west it flows mostly within the Tajik National Park , after which it flows into the Pandsch at Vomar at an altitude of 1979 m . It separates the Jasgulem chain in the north from the Ruschan chain in the south.
The border with Afghanistan is on the other, western bank of the Pyanj and thus opposite the confluence of the Bartang, which is mainly fed by water from melted glaciers and snow .
