Kolola Pushta Fort

Posted by Scotfot (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 4 January 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The fort is an amazing place to visit. Despite the hillside being cleared of land mines it is probably still safer to stick to the main tracks when walking up! The army guards, from the Panjshir Valley are very friendly and will take you inside. The young boy in the picture is flying a kite!

@HorseRotorVator: The fort is actually dwarfed by some hills close by. Kabul itself is at 6000 feet (2000 m) and is surrounded by mountains. here is a view looking down on the fort and a small part of the city http://scotfot.smugmug.com/gallery/3992797/1/239590190/Original
