Tour Details

Travelling to Afghanistan

Afghanistan sits at the crossroads of the Silk Road, and its landscapes and monuments are among the most remarkable in Asia — from the tiled Shrine of Hazrat Ali in Mazar-i-Sharif to the ancient city of Balkh, once called the Mother of Cities.

This small-group tour crosses from Termez in southern Uzbekistan and is run with trusted local partners who handle permits, security briefings and logistics on the ground.

Please note: conditions in Afghanistan change quickly. Read your government’s current travel advisory and check that your travel insurance covers the country before booking — we will confirm the final route with you before departure.
