Rainy, Foggy Road Travel in Picturesque Kurdistan

It's a long, six-hour drive from Kalar to Erbil and yet for the most part I would be wide awake just staring at the landscapes before me.  And it changes dramatically.  From Kalar, it would be some undulating hills, broken up now and then with a few valleys here and there.


Then slowly, the mountains would leap at you, starting from Dabardikan. It somewhat evens when you reach Sulaymaniyah.  Then you would reach Dukan and the mountains would again begin to appear on the horizon.

Kurdistan is beautiful.  I know I would miss it when the time would come for me to leave.
