'My Trip To Afghanistan'

[Saifullah]

what is most greenest part of Afghanistan? Like similar to somewhere like swat or kaghan

[Shayesta]

^ Amongst the areas I have seen and visited, Laghman (I have also posted pictures in this thread). But they say Kunar is extremely green and the greenest part is believed to be Nurestan, which by the way is also breathtaking gorgeous. Taliban were increasing in Nurestan, that's why we couldn't visit the province, very unfortunately.

@Admin
Status of Pukhto in Laghman is extremely safe, majority of students (whether Pukhtoon or non-Pukhtoon) study in Pukhto faculties and none has any trouble with that. Literate or illiterate; Both Pukhto and Dari is being spoken and understood by entire province.

@Lailo
Of course I don't mind! Post all the pictures you have taken, I will in fact be very glad.

Another beautiful 'amusement' city, Qargha. When I was there, I completely forgot for a moment what kind of a country I am in, because Qargha was so peaceful and such a fun place to be at! But of course, the second we left Qargha, the dust and dirt of Kabul woke up again.

I really want to go Afghanistan(Loy Pakhtunkhwa) but I am scared I may get pulled over because of my long hair and other features. Plus I have a British Accent they Think iam here to do trouble lol!

When I went to Pakistan in Novemeber 2009 I was pulled over like 20 times in Islamabad.

I hope to make friends from Loy Pakhtunkhwa(Afghanistan) so i can visit one day and witness the beauty.

Kind Regards

Probably Khost or Logar which is birthplace of Mahsud and Wazir tribe

[BehavedMaseed]

Really?how did you guys end up in modern day Waziristan?

Well there are still Maseed in Logar,ghazni and Khost etc, There are alot of wazirs in present day Afghanistan.

Probably due to the taking part in war campaigns, participating in armies led by Afghan kings and army, our ancestors have settled in Waziristan. But Most of Waziristan was full of Wazirs but War between Mahsud and Wazirs happened and Wazirs lost land to Mahsuds such as badar and momi karamay was Wazir land but they lost it to Mahsuds.

The most beautiful part in Afghanistan i have ever seen is downward running hills from Speenghar to Ningarhar,especially Tora Bora, Khugiani etc. Though we skipped Tora Bora but was quite visible from peak of Speen Ghar which makes Durand Line.Thats an amazing area with alot of potential mineral wealth if you guess from the water streams running down from Speenghar and its downward adjacent hills, which are filled with lot of zarwarak or chamki. That really indicated me some hidden treasures there. Beside that i found many crystals which local termed burned crystals of Rubby. The area and living pattern, really fascinated me. The hard thing was only too cold at night even in July in the shepherd's bandas there. Even a regular lit up fire could not prevent us from wearing our whole clothes. Oufff the bed blood suckers which made hell of my nights.... since being enthusiasts didn't bother those things and enjoyed alot while remaining close to nature.
When peace will come inshallah i will again arrange a trip, routing from Kohat to Kurram Parachinar, Tirah, Speen Ghar, Khugiani, Jalal Abad and then Peshawar. Oh i bought alot of dried sweet Toot in Khugiani. Those Toot only saved us and proved an exhibited item to cheer angry ones.

Hopefully my little narration of tour will not make someone upset, being a little derailed one from the thread.

^ Salang is very pretty...i have been there, and even ate the famous 'toot' there.

Here are my own photos of Salang
