An Historical Guide to Kabul Eight Short Trips Outside Kabul Paghman - Kargha Lake Istalif and the Koh Daman The Salang Pass and Khinjan Gulbahar and Kapisa Tangi Gharu and the Lataband Pass Guldara and Shewaki Buddhist Stupas Ghazni Hadda Site Museum Afghanistan is a country of spectacular scenery dominated by rugged mountains with wooded valleys scattered like gems on the barren slopes; green in summer, gold in autumn, pink and white with the Arghawan and tulip, the cherry, the almond, the apricot and the pear in spring. To visit the city alone is to miss much of the valley's charm. Luckily there are several one day excursions from Kabul which will introduce you to this land of the Hindu Kush. Back to top
