There are short borders with Shughnon District to the north and Murghab District to the east.  The Shakhdara Range is along the northern border with Roshtqal'a District and the north–south Ishkoshim Range is along the district's eastern border.[1]

The district capital is Ishkoshim, a town at the bend of the Panj, opposite the Ishkashim District in Afghanistan.
