Echo trails was established in 2011 by Adab Shah Gouhari to help growth of tourism not only in Wakhan area but also all over Afghanistan. The contribution of the management team and the professional tour guides for the establishment of the company stretches back to years of efforts and dedication. Headquartered in Wakhan/Ishkashim area, Echo trails is a pioneer company which is fully staffed by locals. Their rich local knowledge and experience enables the company to offer the most authentic and rewarding tourism experience to our adventurous tourists.
Rather than guided tours with set daily plans, Echo trails offers expeditions with framework itineraries.
The following is an outline plan for this epic trekking expedition – it’s more about the “substance” than the “details.”
