Afghanistan is chiefly a mountainous country with the famous Hindu
Kush and Kyber Pass, connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, once
a magnet for adventurous travellers.
Afghanistan has no railways, and travel within the country is made
more difficult by the rugged terrain.
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.
Flights within the country are operated by Bakhtar Afghan Airlines;
when the airports aren't closed.
