Salang Pass

Posted by Scotfot (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 3 April 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The road is at a height of 3,400 m and goes through a tunnel 2.6 km long. The tunnel is an incredible feat of engineering and was built by the Russians. You can just see the road lower down on the left.
