An immersive 15 days exploration of Central and Southern Afghanistan.
An immersive exploration of Central and Southern Afghanistan. This 2000km road trip gives the visitor an insight into both the rural life of the Central highlands of Afghanistan and the rarely visited Pashtun heartlands of the south of the country.
The majority of these regions have been impossible to visit for two decades due to security concerns.
We start in Kabul before taking the bone jarring Central route to Herat. En route stopping at Bamian, the lakes of Band e Amir, and the iconic Minaret of Jam. We pause for breath in Herat, the most architecturally complete city in Afghanistan. Then we follow the southern road stopping at the ancient city of Bost in Helmand, the ancient Afghan capital of Kandahar and the great city of Ghazni, with its fort and 1000 year old towers.
Highlights:
- Discover the remains of the Buddhas of Bamian
- Drive the Central Route and camp beneath the fabled Minaret of Jam
- Explore the Pashtun heartlands of Ghazni, Kandahar and Helmand
- Visit Herat
