Jaghnob , also Jagnob, Yaghnob ( Tajik Яғноб ), Jaghnobdarja (Яғнобдара, Дарёи Яғноб), is the right source river of the Fandarja in the north of Tajikistan .
The Jaghnob is fed by the glaciers on the south side of the Serafschankette . It flows through a narrow mountain valley in a westerly direction along the southern flank of the Serafschan chain. The mountain range south of the Jaghnob Valley forms the border between the province of Sughd in the north and Nohijahoi tobei dschumhurij ("areas subject to the republic") in the south. A narrow road leads to the upper Jaghnobtal from Ansob to the first village of Margib. The road ends 16 km after Margib. The villages upstream and the pastures at the end of the valley can only be reached on footpaths.
At the town of Takfon , about 7 km downstream from Ansob, the M34 highway between Dushanbe and Khujand , coming from the south, meets the river valley and runs for the last 10 km along the Jaghnob until the Jaghnob at the settlement Serafshan-1 meets the one from the south coming Iskanderdarja united to Fandarja.
The Jaghnob has a length of 114 km. It drains an area of 1660 km². The river is mainly fed by the snowmelt . In March and April it leads to floods . The mean discharge 8 km above the mouth is 32.2 m³ / s. The river is ice-covered between mid-November and early March.
Jaghnoben , a small, Jaghnobi- speaking minority, live in four mountain settlements in the upper Jaghnobtal .
