Afghanistan by Road
The legendary Kyber Pass (if it's open) is the only place for overland travellers from Pakistan to legally enter Afghanistan.
Afghanistan by Ship
Rivers are used for transporting timber, but they are not navigable, so camels and other pack animals are widely used for transporting goods over the mountain areas.
Afghanistan by Train
Afghanistan has no railways, and travel within the country is made more difficult by the rugged terrain.
