In general it is obvious that glaciers are receding worldwide. This fits for Afghanistan glaciers as well, mostly the Afghanistan glaciers are ?spreaded in the ?high plateau of Pamir and Hindu Kush Mountain in north-eastern Afghanistan. More than ??18% reduction of the glacier surface had been discovered in 2016 in ?area of Afghanistan�s glaciers ??(ICIMOD/WRD Glacier Mapping Team, Ministry of Water and ?Energy of Afghanistan) On the bases of remote ?sensing studies. The purpose of this study is to find glaciers� changes in a year time cycle in upper Kabul River Basin by conducting mass balance measurement observations and hydro meteorological data analyses. The Pir Yakh Glacier in Panjshir province of Afghanistan has been chosen as benchmark since 2018. This glacier is under observationyealy base observation by Geo Sceince Facutly of Kabul University and Ministry or Energy and Water (MoEW) of Afghanistan . The study revealed the total accumulated mass of the glacier is ?222,791.28? cubic meters w.e. ?and total ablated ?mass of the glacier is 1,759,768.70? cubic meters w.e. the overall balance of glacier mass comes ?with ?-1,536,977.42 cubic meter w.e./year in a negative rate or 3230 mm w.e. /year. There is no glacier observation from Afghanistan glaciers in the past. Access the glaciers is a challenge since the glaciers are determined in remote areas of cities and insecurity if main one.
