Safed Koh

Safed Koh

Safed Koh ("white mountain") is a range of mountains on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, up to 15,620 ft (4,761 m) above sea-level at Mount Sikaram, straight and rigid, towering above all surrounding hills, it is near the Kabul River. A spur of the range is crossed by the Khyber Pass. The lower slopes are nearly barren; pine and deodar formerly grew on the main range, but devastation during the Afghan civil war reduced timber resources. The valleys support some agriculture.
