In this captivating episode of Alongside the Afghanistan Border, we embark on a thrilling ride from the enchanting hills of Kalash towards the bustling city of Peshawar, Pakistan—a path that demands not just an adventurous spirit but also a police escort due to its proximity to the Afghan frontier.
Navigating this striking terrain is not just about the stunning vistas; it’s a journey steeped in the realities of border dynamics.

Will the beauty of this landscape translate to assurance, or will the shadows of uncertainty close in? Join us as we delve into this compelling journey, exploring not just the scenic routes, but also the intricate layers of security and experience that define the region.
