Bala Deh is a large village in Gardez District, Paktia Province, in eastern Afghanistan. The village lies roughly 50 kilometres north of Gardez and 12-15 kilometres east of Pul-i-Alam. It is connected to Pul-i-Alam by a dirt road and then the main road leads down from Pul-i Alam to Gardez.
A notable archaeological site lies in the vicinity, known as the "four arches (chahar tag) of Jireh".[1] An ancient fort named Ghur-Duz, now a ruin, is reported to lie six miles to the south of Bala Deh.[2]
Balah Deh is reportedly home to around 1000 inhabitants.[3] Residents of the village faced acute water shortages in 2005 due to a technical fault in the water supply system.[3]
A fictional nuclear facility near Bala Deh is prominently featured in the novel Eve of Destruction by Barry Broad.
