Quick work mate.

You're up.

[rogernumber10]

I've chosen never to be embarrassed by the things that I know.

My question is this:

I'm following a famous path. I've just passed the Jamrud Fort and I'm travelling through the Suleiman hills. Where am I?

[smac]

This sounds very Lord of the Rings to me. Am I close?

[rogernumber10]

No, this is a real world question. You can travel this path today, and it's been travelled for thousands of years.

i think this came up on one of those american news programs on sbs about the war in iraq. i think it's a place in afghanistan somewhere???

[rogernumber10]

You're most of the way there, but I can't award that guess as correct, because the final answer is one that most people have surely heard of.

[Kahuna]

Khyber Pass

[rogernumber10]

Khyber Pass

Khyber Pass is correct. It's a pretty barren road and there's nothing to look at once you go past the fort, other than rolling barren hills. The fort is amazing, and is the last stop for Pakistan law (allegedly if it goes that far). The last 40 kms up to the border all largely run by the Afridi tribe, and the other various clans.

Sounds interesting Roger,bit remote and intimidating for most peoples taste though.
