The Pashtoons are most famous for their incredible bravery, beauty, courage, hospitality, true friendship, loyalty and strict observance of Islam.They are the real face of Afghanistan. The Afghan people in general are among the most hospitable people in the world...
The King's Palace is an ancient palace which suffered massives rocket attacks during the 25 years of war. Now is completely destroyed but you can see how beautifull and powerfull was this country years ago.
This is a small part of my job.This picture was taken when we were building a Government Building in Jalalabad.The idea is to create the construction business in the country. Good business for a long time.
Nothing starts or ends a day other than an awesome sun/moon rise or set. Afghanistan has some of the best to offer that I have ever seen. Along with awesome mountains which tower anything the U.S. has to offer as for rugged and height.
Ameer taimoor leng, a self-made nomadic chieftain from Kish, taimoor lang, (or taimoor lane, because of some defect in his leg), temoor to the uzbeks, whose real name was Ameer Taimoor Sahib Qiran, was born a minor noble of a Tartar tribe in the middle of transoxiana. “at 12 years of age, i fancied that i perceived in myself all the greatness and wisdom.” he won leadership of his tribe at 24 and, after building up an army, proceeded to dominate first the whole of transoxiana, then much of the wider world – “perhaps the greatest self-made man who ever lived.” ameer taimoor ascended the throne in 1370 after conquering Balkh. thereafter Iran, Iraq, Syria, eastern Turkey and most of the Caucasus fell under his sway, followed by northern india and he took Delhi in 1398. Europe’s crowned heads trembled as he vanquished the ottoman sultan bayzid in 1402. The King of Constantinople and the...
All the way upto Kabul from Peshawar, one can see the places which are not possible anywhere else. however road condition is very poor but it runs through koh-i-sufaid and kabul river quite unique landscape all around.
on way to kabul my best and most recommended place to visit is the town of Landi Kotal very close to Torkhum border. its the highest railway track and station as well. and very popular for its bimonthly train service only for tourists.
If you - by any chance - should get tired of the calm and chaotic streets of Herat, the village of Gozara, some 40-50 kms south of Herat is not a bad place for an excursion.Gozara is nothing but a mud house village but a very nice one, and the experience is quite different from being in Herat. The town itself is nothing but a mud labyrinth, but, with the rice fields right outside the mud walls, it's actually very scenic.The people don't see man foreigners! Hardly any, I should think, so be prepared for being the most interesting thing which has happened to the village for months. They'll surely stare at you like you've never been stared at - at least not outside India and Bangladesh.Normally, these days at least, the Herat region is comparatively calm, however, do ask the locals if there has been any shooting lately.
Reportely, the remote and distant Minar-e-Jam, close to the very center of Afghanistan, is the second largest free-standing minaret in the whole world. Only surpassed by Q'tab Minar at Delhi, India, Minar-e-Jam was built more than 800 years ago and is tucked away in a narrow valley 350-400 kms east of Herat.The minaret has not been built in connection to any mosque. It stands all by itself in the valley, surrounded by greyish-brown maountains and a number of tiny villages stuffed with firendly, but rough-looking Afghanis. The minaret itself is leaning a bit like the tower of Pisa, and apart from it being so big, the main attraction by going there is the trip. How to get there rather than being there is the main issue and a challenge to anyone.There are no scheduled public transport, however, with a bit of luck, you may catch a private vehicle from Herat and 400 kms east. Getting back is...
The road from Kabul to Mazar-e-Sharif passes by this beautiful and meandering valley. The mountains are dry and reddish but the bottom is very green... and small villages nestled on the rugged slopes.
