Travel Section: Introduction
Afghanistan is a country, which takes years to explore and know in detail. Endless sights and destinations abound – from the remote region of Badakhshan / Pamir Corridor in the North to the Bamyan and Band e Amir region in the central part of the country. Neglected by tourism for over 35 years since the Russian invasion, there is much natural, untouched beauty.
