Silk Road cities: Herat, Balkh, Kabul

A heritage-led loop for travellers who want mosques, manuscripts, and city fabric — not a checklist dash.

Silk Road cities: Herat, Balkh, Kabul

10 days

Mid-range

What this covers

  • Herat Friday Mosque and old city walks
  • Balkh’s historic layers
  • Kabul museums as a closing study day

Start in Herat for the Friday Mosque and old quarters, then travel north to Balkh’s layered history and finish in Kabul’s museums. Walk with a local host, keep photography respectful, and treat this as a study route rather than a booked tour.

Ask hosts about current road conditions before you move between cities. This page is a suggested itinerary, not a ticket.
