Proximity to Kabul
Natural beauty of Panjshir and its proximity to Capital Kabul made it the favorite of the international tourists, when Afghanistan was in the tourist map of the world.
The Kabulis also visited Panjshir Valley to spend their weekends. It is best to visit during the mulberry, grape or apricot harvests. In spring season, the steep mountains flaunt dark green color. Hospitality of the Panjshir people is unforgettable.
