Last week, a group of us went to Istalif on our day off. Istalif is a small village nestled in the hills about 20 miles northwest of Kabul. Although it's not to far away, the trip took about 2 hours. Once off the main road, we had to take a small rocky road which led back into the Istalif. The road was really windy and tight, and wide enough for only one car in most spots - which made it really interesting when another car was coming the opposite direction. After driving on the bumpy one rocky dirt trail for about 30 minutes, we finally made it to our destination. The scenery was amazing. Below are just a few select pictures out of the hundreds I took from the drive into Istalif and our hike on the trails. This was definitely a good way to get introduced to Afghanistan and the beauty it has to offer.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the beautiful Pictures. I was wondering if you had some of the Irrigation System by the Mughals. it is supposed to be on a slope with poplar trees and wineyards. I would be much interested to see some.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
