Stopped traffic on the Jalalabad–Kabul Road.

The Kabul–Jalalabad Road, also known as National Highway 08 (NH08), is a highway between the Afghan cities of Kabul (the national capital) and Jalalabad, the largest city in eastern Afghanistan and capital of Nangarhar Province.[1] A portion of the road runs through the Tang-e Gharu gorge.[2]

The road is about 152 kilometres (94 mi) long and travels upwards from an elevation of 575 meters in Jalalabad to 1790 meters in Kabul.[3] Because of the many traffic accidents, the road between Jalalabad and Kabul is considered one of the most dangerous in the world.[4][5][6] It consists of narrow roads with sharp turns past high cliffs and a valley of the Kabul River below, with which it runs parallel.[7]

It is a large part of the Afghan leg of the Grand Trunk Road. Parts of the road follow the route of the British Army's disastrous 1842 retreat from Kabul.[citation needed]
