  Travel Afghanistan on this unforgettable and truly unique journey through the heart of Afghanistan. Our longest and most comprehensive Afghanistan tour! It will take you to all of the must-sees Afghanistan has on offer. Plus, some hidden gems along the way.

  November is the perfect time to visit as the country prepares for winter. The cooler weather brings a much more pleasant experience whilst you may even catch the first snow in Bamiyan and the Band-e-Amir as we move to higher altitudes. 

  This Afghanistan tour takes you by plane on domestic flights as well as road, through the vibrant streets of Kabul, the cultural gems of Mazar-i-Sharif, and the spiritual depth of Herat, conservative Kandahar, a road trip through the country passing Helmand, and the ancient ruins of Bamiyan and Band-e-Amir Lakes to provide a really in-depth exploration of this largely untouched land.

  We start in Kabul. A lively, bustling city with too much going on at once and far too much to explore. Wander through the tranquil Babur Gardens, visit the National Museum, and enjoy the majestic Darul Aman Palace. We will also take a stroll along the famous Chicken Street introduces you to the vibrant local market scene, while a visit to Wazir Akbar Khan Hill rewards you with stunning panoramic views of the capital. 

  You then visit one of Afghanistan’s most iconic provinces; Bamiyan. Located 3000m above sea level and home to the Buddhas of Bamiyan and the beautiful blue colours of the Band-e-Amir Lake, Bamiyan’s landscapes and history have so much to offer.  

  In Mazar-i-Sharif, we will visit the beautiful turquoise domes of the Blue Mosque, a stunning centre of Islamic art and spirituality, and explore the ancient ruins of Balkh, known as the "Mother of Cities."  Similarly in Herat, we visit the intricately designed Friday Mosque, explore the ancient Herat Citadel, and wander through the Caravansarai of Mukhtarzada.

  We then set off for an epic road trip right through the center of the country where we have the opportunity to visit Helmand and visit the fascinating Ancient City of Bost.

  We then take a trip to Afghanistan’s most conservative province of Kandahar - one with deep historical roots. Visit the sacred cloak of the Prophet Muhammad at the Tomb of Ahmad Shah Durrani, climb the Forty Steps for sweeping views, and experience the lively Sarposh Bazaar. 

  All meals, and activities are included on this trip, as well as all transportation including domestic flights.
