Through Afghanistan

One of the most challenging and arduous journeys any traveller could undertake, across central Afghanistan. This book penetrates a relatively unknown country, starting from the Iranian border and finishing down the Khyber Pass into Pakistan. It casts light on a part of the world about which we have heard a lot, but, in reality, know little because it remains off limits for many. It reveals a land of distinct beauty, scenery as beautiful as it is remote, and unparalleled ruin. In spite of a catalogue of physical challenges and inconveniences, the journey traverses a stretch of the earth's surface encompassing hostile deserts and up to the fringes of the Himalayas. A bold, thrilling and compelling journey.
