Join Us On An Afghanistan Tour
We’re doing it again in 2021! This time we’ll be exploring this historically rich country at the cultural crossroads of Asia on this Afghanistan Tour.
I’m excited to have teamed up with an amazing and stand-out local tour operator and my team at Inertia Network to take a small group of travelers to experience Afghanistan in the best possible way.
While many parts of the country remain off-limits, it is still possible to visit Afghanistan’s more stable and open regions.
On This 13-Day Afghanistan Trip, We’ll Be Exploring Some Of The Main Highlights Of Afghanistan + Trekking In The Hindu Kush
These highlights will include:
- Visiting the architecturally stunning Blue Mosque of Mazar e Sharif at sunrise and sunset
- A six-day trek in the Hindu Kush to explore the remote interior of Bamyan Province.
- Visit the tumultuous city of Kandahar
- Check out architectural and cultural highlights of Kabul
So Why Join This Afghanistan Tour?
Travel in Afghanistan does not come easy as the country has been at war for a shockingly long time. That’s why I have chosen to partner with people that can show us as much of Afghanistan as security allows. This Afghanistan tour will include everything: all accommodations, meals, transportation in the country, internal flights, and local guides.
We’ll be exploring the best of what Afghanistan has to offer during a great time of year in the country. We plan to make the trip as culturally immersive, fun, and unique as possible in a small group setting. This trip will also take you behind the scenes and beyond the headlines you see about Afghanistan.
Afghanistan Tour Itinerary
Mazar e Sharif – 2 Days
We’ll kick off this Afghanistan tour from the northern city of Mazar e Sharif. Over the next two days we’ll take time to visit the gorgeous the Blue Mosque, celebrate Eid, and visit the buzzing central bazaar.
Trek Into The Hindu Kush – 6 Days
We’ll visit the highlights of the Bamyan area of Band e Amir and the Buddha Niches before setting off on a six-day trek into the remote Hindu Kush Mountains, taking time to explore remote mountain valleys and passes, staying in homestays along the route.
Kandahar – 2 Days
Next, we’ll board flights to Kandahar to explore the Pashtun heartland and the former Taliban capital of Afghanistan. We will spend our time visiting important mosques, mausoleums, markets, and learning more about the culture that surrounds this southern corner of Afghanistan.

In Kabul, we’ll visit historic sites, museums, bazaars, and mosques, getting to know Afghanistan’s capital city and central hub a bit better.

Hey Shawn,
We’re hoping that the trip will still happen. As of current, Afghanistan is open to tourists, but as you know these things could change. If this trip is cancelled I plan to postpone and offer it later in the year or at worst case, defer it an entire year.
I am obsessed with your posts from here and I definitely would like to join a group trip. I can’t in March because I’ll be in Mexico but count me in for a future one. Just signed up for your newsletter!
We’ll keep you posted! There’s one in the works for Pakistan in August
