Afghanistan is steadily regaining its past reputation
as a beautiful country with hospitable people. Up until the
1970’s, Afghanistan was a popular destination for its
unique culture and diverse terrain. Recent travelers often remark
that Afghanistan’s historical legacy and stark landscape
is the initial reason they visit. However, they leave with a
newfound respect for the enduring spirit of the people. Attractions
in Afghanistan center on its diverse history, culture and beautifully
rugged terrain.
Eco-travel agencies are already operating in Afghanistan.
Avid mountain climbers and skiers are delighted by Afghanistan’s
imposing mountains of the Hindu Kush. Global Exchange (www.globalexchange.org),
a non-profit organization, was one of the first organizations
to provide a packaged tour in 2002 for those interested in surveying
and developing a sense for understanding Afghanistan’s
culture and environment. Global Exchange is currently promoting
upcoming reality tours for 2006/2007. Tours provided by Distant
Horizons (www.distant-horizons.com) also offers eager explorers
a unique opportunity to journey to Afghanistan with a knowledgeable
tour guide and detailed itinerary. U.S. companies such as Pamir
Travel (www.pamirtravels.com) and Afghan Travel and Tours (Contact:
ahmedb1961@yahoo.com) have been selected by Ariana Airlines
as their official representatives in the U.S.
