Russia used to rule over Afghanistan. The United States gave money to the insurgent rebel army "the taliban" to take back control of their country from Russia. Ironic ain't it : )
Happy that you made it through it safely. Yeah, as you said, the Taliban is not that "much" ready to see tourists. Most of them don't even think foreigners will visit their country for exploring and adventure (mainly cuz it's destroyed through years of war) which ends up making them think it's some kinda spy or something (especially outside Kabul) lol.
@@thestarseeker8196 I think the OP was very clear. It was "mainly cuz its destroyed through years of war". It is as if there is nothing to see or explore for tourists. You said what you wanted to hear.

Thank you so much for visiting Afghanistan. Sorry for being annoyed due to frequent questioning. But I think they asked you for security reasons which recently we witness of several attacks on educational centers that's why they are vigilant much. I'm sure people could have been so affable with you and hopefully you enjoyed a lot.
Alsalam alaikum 7bibi Do you live in Afghanistan 🇦🇫? I'm American and live in Egypt 🇪🇬. I want to visit Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Wanted to go since I seen the Taliban sitting in the presidential palace when I was eating dinner. Amazing memories. Any advice or point of contact or something? Insha'Allah
I mean I guess that's fair considering the brutal rape our countries perpetrated upon Afghanistan. For absolutely no reason, by the way. Unless you count economic imperialism as a reason, I suppose. I will visit Afghanistan next year, but I would never dream of setting foot in the USA. In my view, the Afghans are by far the more honorable and decent people.
“Are you Muslim” As a person with afghan roots , I assure you he did not ask this question due to extremism. The thing is we Pashtuns come in all different shapes and sizes , some of us are blond with colored eyes, so he really was just wondering whether you are a Pashtun like him😂 that’s all .
@@erkzneedtu Yeah and a lot of Pashtuns are "basically white" (lol). Dumb bitch 😂 OP doesn't even have a picture on his channel so how would you even know his complexion?
Was never your biggest fan Ben, but I have to say - You have a pair of balls on you mate. Good of you bringing honest videos like this to the world. Keep going!
Hello Ben… I’ve said it before and Il say it again… I applaud you for going to a country that many choose to avoid and with good reason! But without people like you showing us the natural beauty of a place like Afghan many of us would never see how amazing it looks and it’s not all bad!… you and bald are super funny together… the ant and dec of travel… keep safe
@@earthmurmurs8659 hello and I will try my best to explain… The reason I say with good reason is…and this is just my opinion…Afghanistan has had quite extensive problems over the last 40 years or so! Which has led to country’s like the uk and many others being at war with the Taliban which have now taken over Afghanistan! And people know world wide how dangerous things can be! Many life’s lost and family’s broken! So for me like I say just my opinion is good reason to stay away! BUT, like I said in my earlier comment Afghanistan looks amazing! It’s just not somewhere I could ever risk taking my children on holiday!! I hope that changes in years to come! For now I rely on brave people like Ben and bald to show us the hidden beauty’s… hope this answers your question @Earth Murmurs

I had friends who immigrated from Afghanistan growing up. I've yet to meet anyone more hospitable than that. They would treat me like I lived with them any time I visited.
@@rajatranjan3283 shhhh They are like that because Islam teaches this. Most of asian culture is influenced by Islam.

Most of asian culture is influenced by Islam especially the Muslim countries.
Thank you Ben for share us your experience in Afghanistan. Because of your Videos and Bald's Video I have more interest for the culture and langauge of the Afghan people. I hope Afgahnistan is one day more safe for Western Tourists.
Dear Liam, right now is also completely safe and there are a lot of tourist coming and visiting Afghanistan after the Islamic Emirate took over the government. In every country on earth there are of course some safety issues and dangerous, and it's the same in Afghanistan too. Talibans are kind to every people specially foreign tourist. If you are worries and not comfortable about traveling to Afghanistan soon, it's ok just wait a little bit and travel to Afghanistan when you feel comfortable 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey Ben, loved your AFG videos, I am a Hazara Afghan living in Australia for 18 years and I am only 34. Dearly miss my country, wish it was safe for us all to visit. I have watched your and Balds videos from AFG, loved this video in particular as it offers a little overall summary of AFG at the moment. and OH YES the food is amazing and AFG people are the most hospitable people in the world
Im not hazaras but we all know Hazaras are targets of the taliban. We all hate the Taliban except the extremists like you. Go to them. All Farsi zabans and most pashtoons hate taliban.
You both win the prize for sheer coolness under pressure, hats off! But as you note, you essentially have to prove lack of ill intent with every armed guy you meet--- a tiring situation . you're right, give it a rest, and return when the guards have calmed down in a couple years.
You people are amongst the pioneers visitors that might have contributed in kickstarting this country economy and boost their morales. May Allah grace you with great adventures.
Thank you for sharing the videos and the risk you taken with your companion, Bald. True enough Afghans are nice people. Beautiful country. It had gone through histories with many empires taken over it and is part of silk route. We do not know what next. Trust more development is taking place for the benefits of the country. Cheers !!!👍
Literally watching the Inbetweeners 2 atm, lol. Just subscribed, good to see Bald staying out of danger. What an absolute legend , lol. Love to travel with you guys someday. Inspiring video to just go and travel
For a minute I felt like I was with Magellan and Marco Polo exploring where few have the ...courage and fortitude to go. Thank you for these world connecting videos. And the best humor too.
I enjoyed this video Ben, even though I followed the whole series. Well Done and for being honest, from an American! It’s not the people of a Country that are bad, but possibly the Governments!
@@Asad-yc8kv why would I take them back? What’s with the threatening tone lol Traveling alone to a war torn country that has a heavy culture of hating the west and you don’t speak the language is dangerous, narcissistic and stupid. Granted these guys have traveled a lot, I wouldn’t advise anyone to just up and do that. my comment had nuance, idk why y’all are tripping.
I viewed a picture of a father holding his three year old daughter. The taliban had removed her head for being christian. They are evil and deserve the hell that awaits them.
lol i wanna know what the outcome would be if you told the taliban you came from america and that you are a christian... i doubt you would have made it out of there with your head still attached...
Relax, their not being "enslaved", or "taken advantage of" or whatever, in Afghanistan the way of life has to be traditional because of harsh conditions... Hence the women do not leave home unless necessary.
Seeing how there were native Afghans that were literally holding on to jet planes taking off to escape because the Taliban were back in power is a pretty good indication that it's not a safe place for anyone to go.
There is not a woman in sight in any of the videos. It is tough to call the people of Afghanistan welcoming and pleasant when all the atrocities against woman are ignored. I am sure it is a beautiful country - but just for the men.
Hey ben, you are a total legend. I've been watching all your videos here from Tabriz, Iran, and despite all the stuff happening here in Iran atm, People here wouldn't even dare getting close to the border with Afghanistan even though we speak the same language. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you in Iran one day once our government gives visas to British nationals to roam around freely. And if you ever get in, make friends with the tough local teenagers and they'll surely fix you up a beer or two 😂😂

My man you visited Afghanistan during Taliban regime. This proves you are brave. I would like to thank you for doing it so and show Afghanistan to the world and thank you for your honesty.
Great documentary! Subscribed! Afghanistan wasn't at war for the last 40 years. I have a friend who lived there between when the Russian left and the American invaded.
Beautiful country, very sad history. Especially the atrocities committed by the British and American militaries in the name of "freedom". respect for the Afghan people who took up arms to defend their homeland and families.
the people in Afghanistzn are far from free. There wasnt a single woman in that video. Afghanistan is in the midst of a major humanitarian crisis and women have literally not safety or rights
Appreciate vids like this. I've traveled a bunch and, as a US citizen, I've yet to meet a citizen from another country that isn't just a person like me. Look, governments here and there do awful things, but people are people for the most part. Seeing the people without the lens of journalistic sensationalism, news bias, political bias, etc...just people being people...gives you hope, y'know? My Afgani brothers and sisters, با عرض پوزش صمیمانه از اقدامات دولت من. شما هم برادران و خواهران من هستید، همانطو که هر یک از شهروندان امریکایی من هستند. من دعا می کنم که یک روز کشورهای ما بتوانند تاریخ های خود را غلبه کنند و به یاران واقعی تبدیل شوند. خداوند شما را حفظ کند.

Hey Ben, loved your AFG videos, I am a Hazara Afghan living in Australia for 18 years and I am only 34. Dearly miss my country, wish it was safe for us all to visit. I have watched your and Balds videos from AFG, loved this video in particular as it offers a little overall summary of AFG at the moment. and OH YES the food is amazing and AFG people are the most hospitable people in the world
Im not hazaras but we all know Hazaras are targets of the taliban. We all hate the Taliban except the extremists like you. Go to them. All Farsi zabans and most pashtoons hate taliban.
Stop propaganda aginst afghanistan all hazara do the same propaganda like u sanke
@@ismatkhan7409 Hazaras have been targeted for long. You have to earn their trust.
You both win the prize for sheer coolness under pressure, hats off! But as you note, you essentially have to prove lack of ill intent with every armed guy you meet--- a tiring situation . you're right, give it a rest, and return when the guards have calmed down in a couple years.
You people are amongst the pioneers visitors that might have contributed in kickstarting this country economy and boost their morales. May Allah grace you with great adventures.
Thank you for sharing the videos and the risk you taken with your companion, Bald. True enough Afghans are nice people. Beautiful country. It had gone through histories with many empires taken over it and is part of silk route. We do not know what next. Trust more development is taking place for the benefits of the country. Cheers !!!👍
Awesome story and great summary👌 Loved it mate!
Taliban telling Bruce Willis as their favorite actor really got me! 😂😂
The Taliban are all about family too, I guess!
@@Sniperboy5551In the 1990's they loved RAMBO. 😂
Bruce Willis is a Chad
I really miss my beautiful Afghanistan
Thanks for sharing amazing videos
🤝😎
It's so weird how there are absolutely no women in the entire country.
The rice dish is Kabuli Pulao, usually served with lamb and it’s absolutely delicious! Favorite meal I had during my time in Afghanistan.
Literally watching the Inbetweeners 2 atm, lol. Just subscribed, good to see Bald staying out of danger. What an absolute legend , lol. Love to travel with you guys someday. Inspiring video to just go and travel
Appreciate it joe 😎
I worked in Afghanistan I really hope they get things together and the majority of the ppl get the government they want
Great work, the pair of you. Thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. Very daring of you two to visit. Stay safe, my favourite travel vloggers.
For a minute I felt like I was with Magellan and Marco Polo exploring where few have the ...courage and fortitude to go. Thank you for these world connecting videos. And the best humor too.
☝️Feedback appreciated,
tell Max I reffered you for something profitable••
The fact that you mentioned you were still feeling the whiskey after landing just revoked any plans to return 😂
Glad you guys made it!
I enjoyed this video Ben, even though I followed the whole series. Well Done and for being honest, from an American! It’s not the people of a Country that are bad, but possibly the Governments!
There's a strange and dangerous narcisism in traveling through dangerous places.
You have less probability of being robbed, kidnapped, raped or killed in Afghanistan than the US.
please elaborate
can't take your words back now mate explain
@@Asad-yc8kv why would I take them back? What’s with the threatening tone lol
Traveling alone to a war torn country that has a heavy culture of hating the west and you don’t speak the language is dangerous, narcissistic and stupid. Granted these guys have traveled a lot, I wouldn’t advise anyone to just up and do that. my comment had nuance, idk why y’all are tripping.
@@Asad-yc8kv i’ll triple down on that 👍
I viewed a picture of a father holding his three year old daughter. The taliban had removed her head for being christian. They are evil and deserve the hell that awaits them.
"Taliban not ready for tourist" shocking truly
I wish nothing but happiness and freedom for Afghanistan and it’s people!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your videos re so entertaining. Masterfully edited and narrated.
😎👍
lovely to see Two MI6 agents exploring
Wonderful recap. Watched all the videos of Bald and Ben in Afghanistan in both channels. It was amazing.
I commend your bravery. Thanks for sharing with us
👌👍Great sense of humour,Ben😂😂
Glad you guys made it out safe...continued safe travels...
Cheers John
lol i wanna know what the outcome would be if you told the taliban you came from america and that you are a christian... i doubt you would have made it out of there with your head still attached...
@@skitzcunt4213 bs
@@skitzcunt4213 you would have my Christian friend trades in Afghanistan commonly
@@skitzcunt4213 lol.. Europe is sounds dangerous for me.. especially america
Honestly I like their clothes. They look comfy and stylish 😎
I'm from New Zealand
didnt see a single women on street in the whole video really tells.
I can only hope women arent living in hell
😂😂😂 cow
The most disturbing thing is I have not seen a single woman in this video.
Relax, their not being "enslaved", or "taken advantage of" or whatever, in Afghanistan the way of life has to be traditional because of harsh conditions...
Hence the women do not leave home unless necessary.
Seeing how there were native Afghans that were literally holding on to jet planes taking off to escape because the Taliban were back in power is a pretty good indication that it's not a safe place for anyone to go.
There is not a woman in sight in any of the videos. It is tough to call the people of Afghanistan welcoming and pleasant when all the atrocities against woman are ignored. I am sure it is a beautiful country - but just for the men.
Thank your goddamn American army for creating taliban and yes those illiterate pakistanis too
Not safe for them around Bald either
@@faktiman381 American didn't create Taliban or Pakistan. You knowledge of history is comparable to a 4 year old
I welcome your arrival
I am very grateful to everyone who comes to Afghanistan and loves the people
I want a good life for you
Your ending is well done and reminds me of Paul Artreides' line in Dune 2021; "not for riches, not for spice but for the strength of the people".
This is what travel Vlogging is all about.. Both videos were intense.
Hey ben, you are a total legend. I've been watching all your videos here from Tabriz, Iran, and despite all the stuff happening here in Iran atm, People here wouldn't even dare getting close to the border with Afghanistan even though we speak the same language. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you in Iran one day once our government gives visas to British nationals to roam around freely. And if you ever get in, make friends with the tough local teenagers and they'll surely fix you up a beer or two 😂😂
Bro I’d love to go iran 🇮🇷 it’s so Friday I need a visa for it which is hard to get. Iran looks amazing
@@BackpackerBen Our people will always welcome you here
Iranians are the real Aryans
@@BackpackerBen Spanish cyclist riding all the way to the World Cup, entered Iran, went missing for 10 days. Found in Iranian Prison. No details as to why. Happened last week.
@@shivanshshridhar394 and ?
Loved this sum-up video. More adventures with Bald please.
😎🙏🏼
I hope one day you will be back to our country ❤🎉
Thanks for visiting Afghanistan 🇦🇫 in this situation
Wow, never seen this channel but I know of Bald and Bankrupt. Just subbed, great content.
Thanks mate!
Thanks for this update Ben, safe travels
😎🤝
You are very welcome to my country Long Live Afghanistan 🇦🇫🏳️💪🥰
Stands in front of a government ministery with a camera: "They pointed a gun at me" No shit 😂
😂
In most countries you can film the government building no problem
Excellent commentary.
Dang I didn't know Bald and Bankrupt has such an awesome wingman! I love how Backpacker Ben narrates their adventure :)
Pathetic situation in this country, women are not allowed an education, just caged in their houses.
not much different from MAGA
@@willbill1536 what is MAGA?
@@benbwaite9858 A communist organization who hates America
@@willbill1536 are you referring to Donald Trump or?
Yes Women submit to their husbands whom they love.
In your pathetic country your women sleeps with other men and submit to a boss that she doesn't love.
If Doing relatively no work, Watching Tv and rasing kids is "caged", id prefer to be "caged" then work for 8 hours a day for 6 days a week.
Great title lol
👍😆
MI6,AgentBald and the T4liban in Afhgrrranisthan never thought I would see that day lol. Was a great video thank you!
I loved this video and the humour and sincerity you bring to your videos just like the legendary Bald and Bankrupt. I have subscribed and look forward to more content mate! Your an absolute champion!
Bald escaped russian police, just to head to afghanistan. What a madlad.
I am very much glad but not surprised that you and Bald were welcomed with smile in my country. About the Taliban check points, yeah I understand it is certainly not fun. After all it is a wounded country
True
AFGHANS WE LOVE YOU LOTS. KEEP IN PEACE. INSHALLHA. LOVE FROM INDIA
My man you visited Afghanistan during Taliban regime. This proves you are brave. I would like to thank you for doing it so and show Afghanistan to the world and thank you for your honesty.
Great documentary! Subscribed! Afghanistan wasn't at war for the last 40 years. I have a friend who lived there between when the Russian left and the American invaded.
*Chuckles*
I think you mean liberated? Americans don't 'invade', they liberate.
Beautiful country, very sad history. Especially the atrocities committed by the British and American militaries in the name of "freedom". respect for the Afghan people who took up arms to defend their homeland and families.

the people in Afghanistzn are far from free. There wasnt a single woman in that video. Afghanistan is in the midst of a major humanitarian crisis and women have literally not safety or rights
@@judenoble2207
Fun fact.
No country is free.
@@nightowl7261 some are just less expensive.
@@timf2279
Yes. That's why old wtye men go to these countries to do things they can't do in their home country.
The inbetweeners .. no respond 🤣🤣
Bruce Willis checks out perfectly for their liking of course 😁
So random 😆
I hope see you again you guys in Afghanistan with beautiful videos
Thanks Jan loved it
Appreciate vids like this. I've traveled a bunch and, as a US citizen, I've yet to meet a citizen from another country that isn't just a person like me. Look, governments here and there do awful things, but people are people for the most part. Seeing the people without the lens of journalistic sensationalism, news bias, political bias, etc...just people being people...gives you hope, y'know?
My Afgani brothers and sisters, با عرض پوزش صمیمانه از اقدامات دولت من. شما هم برادران و خواهران من هستید، همانطو که هر یک از شهروندان امریکایی من هستند. من دعا می کنم که یک روز کشورهای ما بتوانند تاریخ های خود را غلبه کنند و به یاران واقعی تبدیل شوند. خداوند شما را حفظ کند.
Women wouldn't be able to travel like that in Afghanistan.
I from Kashmir I love Afghanistan 🥰 brother
'He looked like he was wearing a maternity smock' LMFAO Ben
As someone from Pakistan who has never visited Afghanistan
I hope to see that beautiful country in my life 🏳️/🇦🇫❤️🇵🇰
Don't worry, They'll visit your country soon with an army
@@BondJFK I'm scared now lol
Taliban are Pakistanis in denial
@@Sam..2000 Nothing special. Infact we don't have border checkpoints on many fences and people just pass over
@@Sam..2000 you must be consuming a lot of red pilled propaganda. Go out and touch some grass
@@cringeasf8618 A month later and the attacks are intensifying. TTP is really starting to wreak havoc in your country.
"What an absolute muppet"
Got to love the self deprecating realization 😆
Keep it up so I can giggle when your luck runs out.
“Bald kept calling it landmine” 💀
I don't think i've seen a single woman
don't bother mentionning what they do to women bacause who cares as long as you see beautiful mountains !!
At the beginning what a pleasant music, tune,. I just loved it ❤️❤️❤️
That was a very interesting and fun video. Thanks!
Not 1 woman anywhere. The hell they must be going through behind closed doors
