Tell us about your wishes. We take the time to listen, design a proposal with you, send you a detailed quote and confirm everything together before you travel.
Tailor-made journeys are designed entirely around you and are available year-round. Small-group journeys are adventure and cultural tours with a set itinerary, shared with a handful of travellers.
Our signature experience: a day spent alongside a local association, to connect, contribute and learn on a deeper level. Traveling means both: receiving and giving.
Safety is our guiding principle. We work in destinations we know first-hand and will discuss the current situation openly with you before any booking.
Simply write to us or call us. Every booking is confirmed with a detailed quote that sets out the cancellation and change conditions, so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
Fees depend on how close to departure you cancel and on what has already been booked locally, such as hotels, guides and domestic flights. They are clearly written in your quote.
Safety comes first. If the situation becomes unsuitable, we contact you straight away to adapt the itinerary, postpone the trip or find the best solution together.
Carefully chosen hotels and guesthouses, clean and comfortable. In Afghanistan and other remote destinations, standards are not always those of Europe, and we tell you honestly what to expect at each stop.
Yes. Single or double rooms are available on request, whether you travel solo, as a couple or with friends.
In Afghanistan, breakfast and refreshments during the day are included. Lunches and dinners are not, so you are free to choose where to eat. For other destinations, everything is detailed in your quote.
A valid passport and, for some destinations, a visa. For Afghanistan, we guide you step by step through the visa process: see our Afghanistan visa page for details.
Yes, travel insurance is essential, and it must cover every country you visit. Many standard policies exclude Afghanistan, so check yours carefully. We travel with IATI and are happy to tell you more.
Yes. We explain each step and the documents required, and we stay available to answer your questions until your visa is issued.
Every journey depends on your dates, the number of travellers, the type of room and the itinerary. We send you a detailed quote for your own trip, free of charge and with no commitment.
In Afghanistan: hotels, breakfast and refreshments, and an experienced local guide. International flights, lunches and dinners are not included. Each quote lists exactly what is and is not included.
Payment terms, including the deposit and the balance, are set out in your quote. We confirm everything together before you pay anything.
Our team has been working in Afghanistan since 2020, with our own team on the ground. We follow the situation closely, plan every route carefully and discuss the current situation openly with you before you book.
An experienced local guide accompanies you throughout, and our team is available 24/7. Before departure, we hold a Zoom meeting to answer your questions and prepare you for the trip.
Yes. Escorts and armoured vehicles are available on request.
Some destinations require or recommend specific vaccinations. Check with your doctor or a travel clinic a few weeks before departure.
By private vehicle with a driver. In Afghanistan, roads can be in poor condition, so we usually plan one province per day. The longest drives are to Panjshir (about 3 hours) and Bamyan (about 5 hours).
No, which leaves you free to choose your airline and dates. We help you pick the best arrival day: for Afghanistan, arriving on a Monday or Tuesday is ideal, as registration is not possible on Thursdays and Fridays.
Delays happen. That is why we schedule the most remote stops, such as Bamyan and Panjshir, at the beginning and end of the trip, so the itinerary can adapt without you missing anything.
