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. I’d been given the address, including the door number, but given our lack of internet and Google Maps, it did take us a few…

TORKHAM – PAKISTAN/AFGHANISTAN
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. The Torkham Border, as it is known, is…

PESHAWAR – PAKISTAN
14/4/25 – 15/4/25 After arriving at Pirwadhai, in Rawalpindi – after our ridiculous journey from Gilgit-Baltistan, we had a short walk to the top of the street to find buses going to Peshawar. 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…

KUALA LUMPUR – MALAYSIA (#2)
10/4/25 En-route to Pakistan, my flight itinerary had left me with a fabulous morning layover in the Malaysian capital – enough time to head out into the city for a wander, and plenty of opportunity to fill up on food! My Batik Airways flight landed on-time in KL at a touch after 5am – and…

TIRANA – ALBANIA
18/12/24 – 20/12/24 By the time we landed in Tirana, after our long travel day, it was already close to midnight! Luckily, we were off the plane quickly, and Albania’s e-Gate system made for fast passage through passport control – our next step was to find the Luna bus, which operates between the airport and…
