ممر سالنگ (فارسية: كتل سالنگ، إنگليزية: Salang Pass، على ارتفاع 3,878 متر فوق سطح البحر) هو الآن ممر جبلي رئيسي يربط شمال أفغانستان بـ ولاية پروان، ثم بوصلات لاحقة إلى ولاية كابول، إلى جنوب أفغانستان، وإلى إقليم خيبر پختون‌خوا الپاكستان.[1] وتحد ولاية پروان وولاية بغلان، وهي إلى الشرق مباشرة من ممر كوشان، وكان لكليهما أهمية فائقة في الأزمنة القديمة لأنهما كانا الوصلات الأكثر مباشرةً بين منطقة كابول وشمال أفغانستان أو تخارستان. ينبع نهر سالنگ بالقرب من الممر وينساب جنوباً.

يخترق الممر جبال هندو كوش إلا أنه فقد أهميته بعد إنشاء نفق سالنگ، الذي يمر تحته على عمق نحو 3,400 متر. الممر يربط Charikar and Kabul in the south with Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz in the north. Before the road and tunnel were built, the main route between Kabul and northern Afghanistan was via the Shibar Pass, a much longer route which took three days.[1]

The road through the pass has carried heavy military traffic in recent conflicts and is in very bad repair.[1]

الانهيارات الجبلية في فبراير 2010

On February 9, 2010, the pass was hit by multiple avalanches.[2][3] According to press reports the road through the pass was hit by 17 avalanches, killing dozens, burying miles of highway, and trapping the vehicles in the Salang tunnel. By February 10, 2010 authorities had recovered over 160 bodies.[4] Radio Free Europe reported the first avalanche blocked the tunnel, and trapped vehicles in a traffic jam in a "deadly avalanche zone".

Heavy winds and rain set off 17 avalanches that buried more than two miles of highway at a high-altitude pass in the Hindu Kush mountain range, entombing hundreds of cars and cutting off Kabul's heavily traveled link to northern Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday.

By the evening of February 10, authorities had recovered the bodies of more than 160 victims buried by a series of avalanches. The stories told to RFE/RL by survivors suggest the death toll could rise as search teams continue their work -- and when the spring thaw reveals the full extent of the tragedy. The first avalanche blocked the highway just south of the Salang Tunnel. As the traffic began to pile up, travelers in cars, trucks, and buses found themselves trapped in a deadly avalanche zone. Then, one after another, as many as 16 more avalanches wiped their vehicles off the road.
