Bagramبگرام
Skip Bagram. There is no reason for a traveller to visit and the security situation is volatile. If you must pass through, do not stop near any military facilities.
Bagram is a strategic crossroads north of Kabul, but the only notable sights are an abandoned Soviet base and a former US airfield. The security situation is highly volatile and there is no tourist infrastructure. The page exists to tell you to skip it.
