Bagram is surrounded on the west, north, and east sides by the Hindu Kush Mountains in a sort of horseshoe shape. Kabul lies about 20 km to the south. Due to the constant dust in the valley from the vehicles, aircraft, and personnel, it's been difficult to see the mountains clearly. I understand that soon the mountains will become snow-covered and much more clear.
The dust picks up in the afternoons along with the winds. A dry, chalky smell and taste is ever-present.
