Traveling from Afghanistan to India by Land

There is no direct land route from Afghanistan to India. The two countries do not share a border.

Geographically, Pakistan lies between them. The historic Silk Road routes passed through the Khyber Pass (Afghanistan–Pakistan) and then across Pakistan to the Indian subcontinent (e.g., via Grand Trunk Road to Lahore, Delhi).

Current Reality:

• The Afghanistan–Pakistan border (Durand Line) has official crossings (Torkham, Chaman) but they are often closed, restricted, or dangerous due to security/political tensions.
• Pakistan–India land borders (Wagah/Attari, Munabao/Khokhrapar) are heavily militarized; only limited pedestrian/truck traffic at Wagah. No through passenger transit.
• No international bus/train service connects Kabul to any Indian city.

Practical Travel: Fly. Direct flights: Kabul (KBL) → Delhi (DEL) on Kam Air / Ariana (when operating). Connecting via Dubai (DXB), Doha (DOH), Istanbul (IST), or Tehran (IKA) is more reliable. Flight time: ~2.5h direct, ~5–8h connecting.
