Security & Peace of Mind While Travelling

Last updated June 3, 2025

Afghan Guest is committed to making your journey through Afghanistan safe, smooth, and enriching. We provide transparent updates and practical arrangements based on verified local knowledge and evolving travel conditions.

Safe Provinces for Travel

Based on our on-ground assessments and real-time safety checks, the following provinces are currently considered safe for tourism:

Kabul – Capital city with the highest concentration of secure accommodations and services.
Herat – Known for its historical architecture and relatively stable environment.
Bamyan – A scenic and culturally rich area that remains calm and peaceful for visitors.

Safety assessments are regularly updated based on verified local sources and current travel conditions.

Current Situation

While Afghanistan has made significant progress in stability, visitors should travel with awareness. Most international governments advise caution and recommend visiting only with a trusted local partner. Afghan Guest operates with full awareness of these guidelines and only offers routes, hotels, and experiences in areas considered safe and operational for tourists. We constantly monitor the situation through local networks and official briefings.

Vetted Local Guides

Our guides are registered, experienced, and trained to adapt to various situations. They assist you from arrival to departure and are familiar with all local customs, routes, and risk-aware behaviour.

Trusted Hotel Network

Afghan Guest only works with secure hotels that follow strict guest verification and maintain on-site security. All accommodation is thoroughly inspected before being listed.

Private Transport

We arrange safe, private vehicles with professional drivers familiar with Kabul and other key destinations. This provides greater control and flexibility compared to public travel.

24/7 Support & Contingency Plans

Our team provides real-time support from Kabul, Afghanistan, and the UK. Should any change occur, we adjust itineraries immediately and keep you informed every step of the way.

⚠️ Travellers are responsible for checking visa and safety advice from their home government before entering Afghanistan. Afghan Guest takes precautions where necessary. Travel Insurance is NOT a legal requirement to enter Afghanistan.

Visa Required for Foreign Visitors

All foreign nationals must obtain a valid visa before entering Afghanistan. We will provide you with a Letter of Invitation for all tour guide and hotel room bookings made through the Afghan Guest website. Please contact us for assistance with your visa application.
