Once an essential part of the hippy trail, friendly, beautiful Afghanistan has sadly been destroyed by years of war and neglect.

Home to plentiful countryside and the rugged Hindu Kush mountain range, travellers came for the clear mountain air and to see attractions like the giant Buddha statues of Bamiyan.

However, the statues and many other monuments were destroyed under the catastrophic reign of the Taleban, a party of Islamic militants. After 9/11, Afghanistan was accused of harbouring Osama Bin Laden and faced a heavy bombardment from the US which destroyed much of the country's infrastructure.




With thousands of peace-keeping troops still occupying Kabul and pockets of fighting continuing in the south, it seems it will be some time before Afghanistan is restored to its former glory.

Travellers are strongly advised against all travel to Afghanistan, as the threat from terrorist or criminal violence is extremely high. There is also a widespread danger from mines and kidnap throughout the country.

  • Yeshua the Nazarine apreciates you honoring Beautiful and Sacred Afghanistan, and forgives you for not knowing what you say...His Father is not mad at you, only somewhat disapointed...He never left you or turned His back on you...you intellectuallized that he doesn't know the impurities of your heart, mind, or flesh...the messenger of no god, sent by Himself. What you remove God will remove from you life too.
