Afghanistan
Background With conflict in one way or another since 1979, Afghanistan is one of the poorest and most dangerous nations on earth. A typical extreme tourist trip to Afghanistan should include encountering Taliban terrorists, being kidnapped for ransom, visiting the opium fields and getting shot at by warlord controlled heroin barons (1/3 to 2/3rds of the world’s illegal opium comes from Afghanistan). Caution should be taken when sight-seeing, as the country has the largest concentration of land mines and other unexploded ordinance on earth. Our Travel tip: Take a metal detector DangersIncreasingly sophisticated terrorism targeting foreigners and Western interests British nationals under ongoing threat of kidnapping and assassination Widespread danger from mines and unexploded ordnance Violent protests and rioting targeting Western interests Criminal activities and violence stemming from drug trade
