We spent the day there in my uncles orchard. And yes, this was the pomegranite/grape/fig orchard that I wanted to see really badly, but unfortunatley, only the grapes were ripe. Pomegranite season is around the end of August begining of September.
It was beautiful nontheless. You would take a grape vine path to a nice seating area that had a river beneath it. Swimming in the cold fresh water then coming back up to warm kababs and juicy melons was something else.
The pictures I took at the garden had family members in it...so I will upload pictures of Tajqurghan itself...on the roads instead. The first picture, however, is of the river in the orchard. Tajqurghan is filled with multicolored mountains, vast valleys, clear rivers, and fruits orchards.
If you come to Afghanistan, especially Mazar-e-Sharif, come out to Tajqurghan for a day, you will love it!
