Day 1: Arriving In Bamyan (extreme travel) - Afghanistan Under Taliban π¦π«

Published 2023-10-04
My visit did not disappoint - Afghanistan was time travel from bustling & unorganized bazaars, street shaves, same clothing in different colors, no brands, magnificent landscapes, and the bravest people with the biggest hearts of hospitality.
In my trip, we covered Mazar-i-Sharif, Kabul & Bamyan.
Visiting Afghanistan is a sensitive topic for many people. As in any country I go to, the main objective is to share the day-to-day life and spotlight the ordinary people that the mass media fail to capture. No matter how you feel about my trip, here is my summary.
Despite facing significant challenges, Afghanistan has many positive aspects that deserve recognition: diverse landscapes, rich history, warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, resilient people, and more!
Safety:
This was the biggest concern of many people I have talked to, and naturally, that has been the main worry when you enter a war-torn country over the last 40 years. With the takeover of the Taliban, the country is much safer than before; at least no conflicts are going on.
My Persian surname, which is the same as the current supreme leader of the Taliban, my cultural background, being a man with a +3 years long beard, and looking like one of the locals do not qualify me to talk about safety much when it comes to being a tourist. I had a significant advantage, considering the above.
Disclaimer: This is not a travel advisory. Afghanistan has a government that has not been recognized by any country, with no embassies and international relations. I am a professional traveler who explored the country with an organized guide.

the ring with blue stone will actually give the vibe or memory of Afghanistan

i would literally watch a movie with this bunch of dudes, very very cool and nice people

Finally you got the ring made of silver. I think the price is based on the stone. The viewership shall cross even 5 lakhs, for the way you guided people all over the world, to different parts of the continent. Appreciating your painstaking work, for bringing people closer to places they will never have a chance to explore.

Afghanistan really shows the simplicity of life. Kudos to the you and your team for showing us the other side of Afghanistan. We are from the Philippines but residing here in Yangon, Myanmar!

I was literally reading about the budda statues and read shah mama at the exact moment your guide spoke it.

The people of Afghanistan are so nice, innocent and happy, the happiness on their faces is making me happy... It is a matter of great shame how much this corrupt media lies about this country.
