Oh, so we thought we were great explorers, and the most adventurous thing we could do was take a package tour to Slovenia? Well, here’s something that will give us a whole new perspective on the word “adventure,” something that will take us far away from home and make us realize that we’re not so daring after all… Let’s head to Afghanistan and the Panjshir Valley!
James Allen is a fly fisherman like many of us, enthusiastic whenever he catches fish, but where he really stands out is that he is above all an adventurer, and it’s hard to compete with him because he’s always on the lookout for a new destination! Today we are with him in Afghanistan, in the Panjshir Valley and near the famous Bagram base, which was in the news during the Afghan war. You’ll go fishing with him, but above all, you’ll discover breathtaking landscapes and undoubtedly learn a thing or two if you only know Afghanistan through TV series, Call of Duty, or the famous Black Afghan, the weed that makes you crazy and lethargic at the same time! Be warned, a change of scenery is guaranteed!
“Join me for the first part of a unique journey through the legendary Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan. In this episode, we explore the breathtaking landscapes of the valley and cast lines for some high-altitude fly fishing, while also stopping to document the historic and sprawling Bagram Airbase”.
Part 2 of our fly fishing expedition in the Panjsher Valley! We’re heading deeper into the mountains of Panjsher, Afghanistan, to find the best spots along the river. Between the stunning valley views and the local wildlife, it’s an unforgettable day on the water.
