Tourism in the Afghan Hindu Kush & Pamir Mountains

The spectacular Afghan Hindu Kush mountains used to be a major draw for tourists in the 1960s and 70s. Can tourism once again bring much needed livelihoods to the desperately poor local people? Mountain Unity sent a small team to find out. Watch this film and make up your own mind.

lets hope you re helpe is only for the sake humanity nothing els, if you are helping these people for no gain, may god reward u for it. because we afghans love our religion islam, islam comes first to our lifes. we prefer islam over any wealth or any thing els, when it comes to religion.

@javed119 I first visited Afghanistan in 2002 and became convinced what the Afghan people needed more than anything else was jobs. Our project is all about that. Westerners coming to Afghanistan to have an enjoyable time in the country is not what this is about; it's about giving people who often starve in the winters a way to earn enough money to feed their families. The fact it builds bridges between nations is a bonus. If there were other job options there we'd be doing that too.
