The Kabul–Jalalabad Road, also known as National Highway 08 (NH08), is a highway running between the Afghan cities of Kabul (the national capital) and Jalalabad, the largest city in eastern Afghanistan and capital of Nangarhar Province.[1] A portion of the road runs through the Tang-e Gharu gorge.[2]
The road is about 152 kilometres (94 mi) long and travels upwards from an elevation of 575 m in Jalalabad to 1790 m in Kabul.[3] Because of the many traffic accidents, the road between Jalalabad and Kabul is considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world.[4][5] It consists of narrow roads with sharp turns past high cliffs and a valley of the Kabul River below, with which it runs parallel.[6]
