on the tourist trail, Panishir’s proximity to Kabul combined with its astonishing
natural beauty made it most people’s first destination in the country. It was also
conveniently accessed from Pakistan by journalists covering the Russian and Taliban
wars when it’s geographical situation, and the brilliance of its mujahedeen
commander, the great Ahmed Shah Masood, made it unconquerable. Masood
defeated the Russians here fifteen times, and so comprehensively that they stopped
trying to capture it. Most of the television footage of the war shown in the West was
shot here. The river has a narrow and extremely fertile flood plain and is famous for
its fruit. However the sides are steep mountains, which is why it is so defensible. In
