Afghanistan

Often referred to as ‘the graveyard of empires’, a term that refers to a history of failed foreign military campaigns in the country, Afghanistan beyond the headlines is a fascinating country rich in culture, historical wonders, beautiful rugged landscapes and welcoming hospitality.

Our tours begin in Kabul, one of the highest capital cities on earth and surrounded by the Hindu Kush. We’ll travel onwards to the majestic city of Herat, exploring the striking Islamic architecture and bustling bazaar before driving to Bamyan, the former site of the giant Buddha statues. No trip to Afghanistan is complete without viewing the awe-inspiring stone and blue water contrast of the Band-e-Amir National Park lakes and of course, watching a game of epic horse-backed national sport, Buzkashi.
