Kabul International Airport and the Hindu Kush Range




Kabul International Airport is our hub to the glorious nation of Afghanistan, home of the Mujahadin and the Taliban! They didn't roll out any red carpets for us, but US Army was there with gifts of loaner body armor and helmets for the exciting car ride from the Airport to Camp Eggers (Coalition Force HQ). The most memorable part of stepping off of the plane and onto Afghan soil was the spectacular views of the Hindu Kush mountain range. These bad-boys make the Cascades look like tall hills! The Hindu Kush are the western end of the Himalayan mountains.
