The Yarkhun is the right source river of the Mastuj in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa .

The Yarkhun arises at the glacier mouth of the Chiantar glacier . From there it flows in a south-westerly direction through the mountains of the Chitral district . A country road follows the course of the river for the lower 90 km. In the small town of Mastuj , the Laspur meets the Yarkhun from the left and unites with it to form Mastuj. The Yarkhun has a length of 130 km. The Yarkhun river valley forms the dividing line between Hinduraj in the east and the Hindu Kush in the west and north.
