TOUR OVERVIEW

This is a tour guided exclusively by females, with a female perspective and insight. You don't need to be female to join this tour, but it will be focused around this unique perspective on things.

This June, experience the culture and beauty of Afghanistan in a whole new light. With new restrictions for women in Afghanistan being announced every few months, many travellers are left wondering if female tourists will be safe in Afghanistan. Our female guides will show you firsthand that it's just as safe for women as men to travel in Afghanistan. They'll get the same access as any male tour guide, and show just how different things are for foreigners vs. locals. They'll explain the current situation Afghan women are facing, and talk you through what is true and what is not. We'll visit local women in handicraft markets and get a rare glimpse into domestic life. The only way to see what daily life is actually like in Afghanistan is to visit for yourself!

This tour isn't totally female-focused though, and is just like any of our other Afghanistan tours! We'll start off in the hectic capital city of Kabul, visiting favourites like the bird market and the famous Chicken Street. We'll then head north ot the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, and you'll notice a completely different and more relaxed energy here. Even the wan women dress is distinctively different to Kabul! We'll visit the stunning blue-tiled tomb of Hazrat Ali, one of the most important religious sites in all of Afghanistan. On our journey back to Kabul, we'll also spend time exploring the ancient Silk Road cities of Balkh and Samangan.

We'll then escape the summer heat by heading to one of our favourite places in Afghanistan - Bamiyan. We'll see the remains of the famous Bamiyan Buddha statues towering over the landscape. We'll also relax by the striking blue waters of Band-e-Amir, which will likely be a highlight of your journey.

One of our facourite activities will be a visit to the Parwana Children's Circus. The kids will impress us with their acrobatic skills, and even guve us some juggling lessons! It will be an opportunity to participate in something that is getting rarer in Afghanistan - children having fun and learning important skills in a safe environment.
