Sargez is a village in Wakhan District of Badakhshan Province in Afghanistan.[1] It is located in Upper Wakhan which is made up of valleys of Wakhan and Pamir rivers and their tributaries, and the terrain between them.[2]

## Demography

[edit]

Sargez is a part of a cluster of villages called Baba Tungi. Per survey conducted by Wildlife Conservation Society in 2016, there are 8 households in Sargez with a total population of 100.[2] The residents here own livestock and are involved in dairy production. They send their livestock in winter elsewhere as amanat because the village lacks grazing pastures in cold season.[2][3]

## Tourism

[edit]

The village lies at an elevation of 3040 meters above sea level.[4] The area attracts a small number of tourists interested in wilderness trekking.[5][6]
