River of Life | Steve McCurry

For more than 2000 years, travelers have walked, ridden, prayed, traded, invaded, escaped, fought, and died along the 1,500 miles of the Grand Trunk Road which stretches from Kolkata to Kabul. This ribbon of humanity stretching Northwest from Kolkata, the city of culture and joy, to Kabul, the city of conflict, has been moving merchants, buyers, conquerors, refugees, prophets, nomads and pilgrims through what is today India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
