Afghanistan is not a normal leisure destination right now: tourism exists only as a small, highly controlled niche with guided, permit-heavy travel. Current conditions include active border conflict, detention risk for foreigners, cash/banking friction, and aviation disruption concerns, so travel remains extremely high risk despite some recent foreign visitor activity.
