Three meals a day included in the price of the trip.
Small group of up to 10 travelers.
This is our first Expedition to this mysterious country, the true East with all its traditions. Our Expedition has been designed along the safest possible route with reliable partners (local tour operators). As always, we have included high-level hotels and meals in the price. The tour to Afghanistan in 2026 will be in a small group, with only the last spots remaining. There will be just 10 of us.
The tour will begin upon arrival in Kabul. On the first day, we will get acquainted with the city and the main sites we plan to visit during the trip. If we have time, we will visit several places in Kabul, such as the National Museum, the Old Palace, Babur’s Garden and Palace, the Birds Market, the Mausoleums of Abdul Rahman Khan and King Zahir Shah, the Omer Landmine Museum, and the TV Tower Hill for a panoramic view.
