Getting there & away
Central Afghanistan’s isolation is felt in its poor transport links to the rest of the country. Two punishing roads lead slowly from Bamiyan to Kabul, via either the northern Shibar Pass, or the Hajigak Pass to the south. Roads are similarly poor leaving the Hazarajat across the central route to Herat – a trip of several days in the summer, frequently impassable during the winter snows and merely treacherous during the spring melt. There are no commercial flights to Kabul, although both the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) and Pactec operate services between Bamiyan and Chaghcheran and the capital.
