TOUR OVERVIEW
Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, we haven’t been running tours to the country. After the requests of ordinary local people and assessment of the security risks, we have decided to resume taking guests to this amazing country. Due to the change in the political reality on the ground, we will be able to visit areas we previously deemed too dangerous to travel to. The tour begins and ends in the capital Kabul. Hitting the road, something that was previous much more dangerous, we'll visit the ancient city of Ghazni, the former Taliban capital of Kandahar, and the opium capital of the world, Lashkargah, before returning to a SAIGAtours' favourite - Herat, with its bustling street life and Iranian influenced culture. Throughout the tour we'll have lots of chances to interact with local Afghanis, getting a rare insight into their lives.
