Hi Marc,

By following the link http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=Band-e+Juy&country= I can see that the first and third records have the same name (Band-e Joy) and same set of alternative names and both of them are in Afghanistan. It seems to me that it is the same mountain Band-e Joy stretched from Wilāyat-e Dāykundī (first-order administrative division) to Vardak (first-order administrative division). Can you confirm?

Thank you,
Feroz.

Hi Feroz

I have never been to Afghanistan and the other sources I have are not so complete to include this information. It is possible that one is a duplicate, but it is also possible that two mountains in different regions have the same name. Googleing doesn't help either as there are tons of spam sites using our data.

Best

Marc
