A complex of villages at the northern edge of Kabul Province
This is a large collection of sometimes interlocked villages and structures, once heavily destroyed and looted, reoccupied and mostly rebuilt after the Taliban left. There was a command center of Massoud here as well. The creek that is the source of water is, at the end of summer, running fairly low but in spring can be quite substantial. A fertile area that produces enough to support itself and sells much of their excess to Kabul. |
