Qargha (Dari: قرغه; Pashto: قرغې) is a town located to the west of Kabul, Afghanistan, where many people go for recreation and entertainment purposes. Its main attraction is the Qargha Dam, which is named after the town. There are also parks, amusement rides, boat rides, horse rides, and many Afghan restaurants with open lounge areas.
Located east of the town sits the former Camp Qargha of the larger National Military Academy of Afghanistan. A few miles to the northwest is Paghman. Both towns attract many local and foreign tourists, especially during public holidays.
Major security-related incidents in the area
On 27 August 1986, there were large explosions in an army ammunition depot in the town. This was during the Soviet–Afghan War, which ended on 15 February 1989.
On 22 June 2012, twenty people including security personnel were killed in the area during a terrorist attack.
On 23 August 2014, a gang of criminals pretending to be police raped four women on the main Paghman-Qargha road. Five of the criminals were later executed by hanging after being convicted.
