BAMYAN – AFGHANISTAN
17/4/25 – 18/4/25 Getting out to Bamyan is not particularly difficult to do by shared taxi – the slightly harder part is getting from Bamyan to Band-e-Amir and back, as most Afghans tend to take their own vehicles out here. To save ourselves a bit of hassle, we’d organised with ATE for a driver and

KABUL – AFGHANISTAN
15/4/25 – 17/4/25 After getting out of our taxi from Torkham at the entrance to the Wazir Akhbar Khan neighbourhood, we began the search for our accommodation – the GetINN Guesthouse.

15/4/25 We considered the price of taking a cab to Karkhano Market, on the western edge of Peshawar, and then finding a shared taxi onwards to Torkham, but instead chose to take the not-much-more-expensive but certainly more convenient route of ordering an InDrive for the 60km journey.

Luckily, the drive between the two cities is both relatively short, and relatively popular, and so in no time we had located

GILGIT-BALTISTAN – PAKISTAN
11/4/25 – 13/4/25 After a short night of sleep in Islamabad, we were up at 4am, in theory to catch the flight from Islamabad to Gilgit at 7am. Unfortunately for us, and rather unsurprisingly, the flight had been cancelled – this meant that we had to find an alternative route to Gilgit. We walked over

ISLAMABAD – PAKISTAN
10/4/25 – 11/4/25 At 12:30pm KL time, my Pakistan International Airways flight lifted off, bound for Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. Honestly, I’d heard some pretty poor reviews of PIA, but the flight actually wasn’t too bad – it was only 6.5 hours in length, so I couldn’t complain! The only strange thing about the flight
