Is it safe to travel to Narai Kandao?

Travel to Afghanistan is strongly advised against due to the volatile security situation, ongoing armed conflict, terrorist attacks, kidnapping risks, arbitrary arrests, and a high crime rate. The security situation is unpredictable, and several terrorist groups remain active, with attacks escalating since August 2021. Foreigners and individuals linked to Western countries are particularly targeted for kidnappings and violence. The country is extremely dangerous, with checkpoints across roads and cities, and women face significant restrictions. Some borders are closed, and crossing them poses risks from criminal groups. If you are in Afghanistan, it is crucial to shelter in a safe place, exercise caution, stay informed through international media, and make decisions based on the safety of you and your family.
