Afghanistan Border Crossings
First-hand, cautious route notes for the Termez–Hairatan crossing from Uzbekistan and the Panji Poyon–Shir Khan Bandar crossing from Tajikistan.
Border access is never guaranteed
Afghanistan border access, opening status, entry procedures, and onward transport can change quickly. Check current conditions before travelling to any border area.
Termez to Hairatan border
Arrange the consulate visa in Termez, reach the crossing, complete exit and entry formalities, then continue toward Mazar-i-Sharif.
Shir Khan Bandar / Panji Poyon
A more remote route from Tajikistan, with practical notes on the reported visa-on-arrival process, bank payment and shared taxis to Kunduz.
