Afghanistan  
Friendly, beautiful Afghanistan was once well known on the backpacking circuit as the place to stop for unparalleled hospitality, fantastic food, great hiking and...um...OK, well say it, that legendary hashish. Things, sadly, have changed.More than 20 years of war and Taliban rule left the dramatic countryside peppered with landmines and reduced many of the finest monuments and minarets to rubble. The poverty left in wars wake has taken an impossible human toll and encouraged the theft and sale of priceless national treasures.
