Tags: Mountain Pass.
The Kushan Pass or Kaoshan Pass (el. about 4370 m or 14340 ft) is a mountain pass just west of the famous Salang Pass (3878 m. or 12723 ft.) in the Hindu Kush mountain range of northern Afghanistan. These two passes provided the most direct if difficult routes across the imposing east-west wall of the Hindu Kush mountains which divide northern Afghanistan or Tokharistan from Kabul province which is closely connected to southern Afghanistan and Pakistan.
