3 Days on Afghanistan's MOST DANGEROUS ROAD
Today, we are embarking on an extreme journey on Afghanistan's most dangerous road that will take us from the city of Herat through the mountains all the way to the Bamyan Province.
Very quickly after leaving the city of Herat the paved roads transformed into sandy and rocky roads going through some of the most remotes terrains I had ever seen. We made many stops during the day for food of course and some very local restaurants for eggs, kebabs, street food and more. Afghan food became some of my favorite cuisine around the world. After driving for almost 13 hours we made it to a small village surrounded by mountains. A place with no paved roads, no electricity and no signal. We slept in a small guesthouse to recharge and get ready for the next road trip day.
On day 2 we explore the surrounding to the famous Minaret of Gems. A beautiful structure frozen in time that was once the icon of a town filled with life. We also gave a ride to a Taliban who was walking roadside... This is also the day when we had to help some other travellers who go into an accident. Thankfully, everyone was all right. We ended the day in a city called Chaghcharan for the night.
Our third day is the own that took us to our final destination in the Bamyan Province of Afghanistan. A place with breathtaking landscape. After another 13 hour road trip, we made it to the Band-e-Amir National Park which we will be exploring in the next vlog!
If you ever wanted to visit Afghanistan then I couldn't recommend Let's Go Afghanistan enough. They organized an amazing itinerary that took me all over the country from the different cities to the most remote locations and all of this by putting safety first. https://letsgoafghanistan.com/
