💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in locally-run guesthouses and eat at street food stalls and bazaar restaurants rather than tourist hotels to save 40-50% on accommodation and dining costs while experiencing authentic Afghan life.
📅 October to March offers the most pleasant weather with mild temperatures and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the city and surrounding mountains. Avoid summer months (June-August) when temperatures soar above 40°C and monsoon rains can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders require a visa for Afghanistan, which must be obtained from the Afghan Embassy in New Delhi or other Indian consulates before travel. Processing typically takes 5-7 working days and requires a valid passport, application form, and supporting documents.
