BY CAMEL, BY CAR, BY TRAIN

There’s a special road for camels, and a special road for cars, and a
spe­cial road for trains, and they all go through the Khyber Pass in West
Pakistan.

The Khyber Pass connects Pakistan and Afghanistan. The pass is the
low­est place between two huge mountain ranges. It is the fastest and
easiest way to travel between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Small tribal villages lie on both sides of the pass. The villages are
walled and have watchtowers, because the people in the different
villages are al­ways quarreling and fighting. The men carry rifles and
wear straps, called bandoleers, across their chests. The bandoleers have
places for bul­lets. The Khyber Pass is dangerous because of the tribal
wars and the bandits who rob travelers.

Warning signs in different languages are at the entrance to the Khvber
Pass.

Roads such as these zig-zag through the Khyber Pass.
