Dream Vacation Kandahar

Kandahar is home to one of the world oldest human settlements, the stronghold of Alexander, and the birthplace of a major fortified city. Searching in Islamic sources, the Gandharians settlements on the banks of the Arghistan were from this Kandahar. It remained a significant urban center and an important trading hub that connected trade routes between the South Asian subcontinent, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. Kandahar is situated in the middle of a fertile plain and the rivers around it carry plenty of water.

It should be noted that there are some non-scientific statements about Shamshir Ghar that this cave ends up in a large area like a city, which has markets and houses. However, there are stories that in the past, some people entered this cave for adventure or to find treasure, but they did not return.
