This is Afghanistan. Band E Amir lake in Bamiyan Province.

Khak e Jabaar district of Kabul where remnants of the Soviet war on Afghanistan is still at display on the roadside.

Band e Amir natural lake in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. There are a total of seven Small & big lakes in this area and have different names from centuries ago.

This place was such a distant location from Kabul that an Old Man asked one of our friends the shocking question of "who is the ruler in Kabul". After almost three years of Govt change & one of the history's biggest chapters, an old Man here in this remote area of #Afghanistan didn't know who is ruling #Kabul. He did, however, knew that the American invaders had ran away & its Govt changed, but wasn't aware of the current Prime Minister's name. Beauty however in this village was breathtaking. as you can see from the picture, the air in this area was probably the cleanest. #neverseenafghanistan #naturephotography #spring

A sitting area resembling vintage Arabic Style homes & Guest houses in a restaurant called "Cafeteria" at the heart of Kabul city. This restaurant has one of the most diverse menu of Western & eastern cuisines, & is surprisingly reasonable in prices, as well as in maintaining quality standard of the food. We had American steak, Afghan lamb steaks, Chinese chawmin, A large Shrimp 🦐 Pizza. Drinks included Mojito, Mint Margarita, Chocolate shake. And we also had one of the best rolled icecreams 🍨 of Afghanistan here.

Here is a simple yet extremely delicious lunch on a winter afternoon in Kabul, #Afghanistan. #Rice cooked with spices & garlic, salad(or as we call it salata since this is chopped) and chakni( tomato sauce made from green tomatoes and chillies). All this is homemade, not from a restaurant. And like every meal in Afghanistan, this one was also followed by Tea(saffron tea in this case) #foodie #lunch #nostrfood #zapping.

Salar shah village, gyan district, Paktika Province, #Afghanistan. Last year in June, Afghanistan was hit 🎯 by a powerful earthquake that destroyed 99% of this village & a dozen more villages across Afghanistan. However, the resilience & hospitality of these people didn't suffer anything. When we went there, they tried to serve us with whatever they had & apologized above all that they couldn't serve us well. Despite our constant insistence, they still served us green tea with sweets. #Nostrich #Nostr #stories #nature #zapping.
