Afghanistan
The first thing people say once they've been to Afghanistan is "why didn't I come here earlier?" There is probably nowhere else in the world that is so well known, yet so completely misunderstood. The names are all familiar from the news, place names like Kabul, Mazar e Sharif, Herat, Kandahar, Helmund, Panjshir and Bamiyan, yet all we know about them are the military exploits and stories of Taliban insurgency and eventual conquest.
Travelling to Afghanistan is also one of those rare experiences left in this globalised world where one feels like they've travelled to a truly foreign land, a destination where a few things are recognisable but then the rest are completely exotic. Around every corner you need to expect the unexpected.
Afghanistan has so much more to offer than you would ever have imagined, from the hustle and bustle of Kabul, to the natural wonders of Bamiyan. Cities and sights of immense history and culture dating back centuries, and a proud and remarkable culture.
Despite the media, travelling to Afghanistan will leave you with a sense of hope for this remarkable country. After witnessing the resilience and generosity of the Afghani people, and even after all the hardship that they've endured, their smiles and senses of humour will melt your heart.
Our expert Afghanistan guides have been travelling there for years, crafting itineraries that allow you to explore in depth and get a real feel for the country. We go to places very few have ever been.
Join us in Afghanistan and see why it's one of our favourite destinations and somewhere that we look forward to going back to time and time again.
If our group tour dates don't work for you, we also organise customised independent tours to Afghanistan, so why not get in touch!
