My old 216570 and I in Hobbiton. I believe that’s Sam’s house in the background.

Not exotic in the sense that most would think about...but certainly not an easy place to get to: Salang Pass. Was wearing my SeaDweller.

Elevation 3,878 m (12,723 ft)
Location Afghanistan
Range Hindu Kush
Coordinates 35°18′49.44″N 69°02′13.51″ECoordinates: 35°18′49.44″N 69°02′13.51″E
The Salang Pass (Persian: كتل سالنگ‎ kutal Salang, el. 3,878 m or 12,723 ft) is nowadays the major mountain pass connecting northern Afghanistan with Parwan Province, with onward connections to Kabul Province, southern Afghanistan, and to the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[1] Located on the border of Parwan Province and Baghlan Province, it is just to the east of the Kushan Pass, and both of them were of great importance in early times as they provided the most direct connections between the Kabul region with northern Afghanistan or Tokharistan. The Salang River originates nearby and flows south.

The pass crosses the Hindu Kush mountains but is now bypassed through the Salang Tunnel, which runs underneath it at a height of about 3,400 m. It links Charikar and Kabul in the south with Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz in the north. Before the road and tunnel were built, the main route between Kabul and northern Afghanistan was via the Shibar Pass, a much longer route which took three days.[1]

The road through the pass has carried heavy military traffic in recent conflicts and is in very bad repair.[1]

On 3 November 1982, during the Soviet–Afghan War, there was a huge fire in the tunnel which at the time was filled with Soviet military convoys. A very large, but unknown number, of Soviet troops were killed in the Salang tunnel fire.
