Kabul, Peshawar, and some cities in Nangarhar, Afghanistan.

The Khyber Pass is a route through the Hindu Kush mountains, near the boundary between Afghanistan and Pakistan. One of the few paved roads in Afghanistan travels through the pass, from the national capital, Kabul, through Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar Province, and one of Afghanistan's largest cities, to the border with Pakistan, at Towr Kham. The road then continues to Peshawar, Pakistan.
