Parun
Parun (Pashto, Dari: پارون), also called Prasun and Prasungul, is a small town and administrative center of Nuristan Province and its Parun District in Afghanistan.
The city of Parun has a population of 1,647. It has 1 district and a total land area of 350 hectares. The total number of dwellings in Parun is 183.

Ishtewi, the upper village, lies at an altitude of 2,850 m above sea level, while Pashki, the lowest village, lies at 2,500 m above sea level.
Under the Köppen climate classification, Parun has a subarctic climate (Dsc). The average temperature for the year in Parun is 1.2 °C (34.2 °F). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 11.7 °C (53.1 °F), while the coldest month on average is January, with an average temperature of −11.1 °C (12.0 °F).
According to news published in 2007, the governor of Nuristan Province was planning to establish a city of about 20,000 people in Parun. This would make it "the first city in Nuristan". The report indicated that some construction had begun.
Wasi-wari is natively spoken in Parun, while Kamkata-vari, Pashto and Dari are also understood. The Gujars of Parun also speak their native language, known as Gujari.
