Khumdon (formerly Navdonak; Tajik: Хумдон, Persian: خومدان ) is a village and jamoat in central Tajikistan. It is located in Nurobod District, one of the Districts of Republican Subordination.[1]
Khumdon is east of Dushanbe on the Pamir Highway, in the Vakhsh River valley and has a Köppen climate classification of Dsa and experiences wet and cold winters with dry cool summers. The town is both a river crossing and highway junction.
During the 1920s the area was a hotbed for the Basmachi, the anti-Soviet resistance in Central Asia.[2] [3]
During the Civil War in Tajikistan from 1992 to 1997, the area was a hotbed for Islamist forces, and October 2010, the Tajik Interior Ministry asserted it had killed three militants nearby at Gharm amid an alleged rise in Islamic militancy in the region.[4] [5]
