Planning a trip to Afghanistan? Bring a Baechtold!Baechtold's Best is a revolutionary concept in travel guides for both the adventurous traveler and the arm-chair variety. Created exclusively using images and maps, Baechtold introduces the traveler to the best of what each country has to offer.

Each guide consists of four categories of destinations (People, Nature, Art, and Things) accompanied by a map to get you there.
