Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox river The Gunt (Шаблон:Lang-ru, Шаблон:Lang-tg Ghund or Аличур Alichur, historically in English also Ghund[1]) is a river in the south of Tajikistan, north of the Shughnon Range. It is Шаблон:Convert long and has a basin area of Шаблон:Convert.[2] Its source, Lake Yashilkul, is situated at the edge of the Alichur Pamir, a high plateau or pamir at an elevation of 3,720 m. The city of Khorog is located at the confluence of the Gunt with the Panj (one of the source rivers of the Amu Darya, forming the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan). See Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region for surrounding area.

The Gunt, and its tributary the Shakhdara, power the Pamir I power plant. The river flow is very seasonal, low in winter, but high in July and August due to water from melting snow. Its width varies from 10 to 50 meters and it is up to 1.5 meters deep. Due to the mountainous terrain, the rivercourse is very fast, over 2 m/s at times. Its bed is rocky, and the banks are steep and precipitous. Often the stream occupies the whole river valley, but sometimes it divides into several courses.
