What to pack for Afghanistan in the winter

In the winter months in Afghanistan, you will need to pack warm and layered clothing to combat the cold temperatures.

Be sure to bring a heavy coat, as well as sweaters, long-sleeve shirts, and thermal underwear to stay warm. Additionally, pack thick socks, gloves, and a hat to keep extremities protected from the cold.

It's also important to bring waterproof boots and a scarf to protect from snow or rain. Don't forget to pack clothing that can easily be layered for warmth and versatility, such as a fleece jacket or vest. It's also a good idea to bring a sturdy and waterproof jacket or parka to protect against harsh weather conditions.

Lastly, bring clothing that can be easily washed and dried, as access to laundry facilities may be limited.

In the winter, Afghanistan experiences cold and snowy weather, with temperatures dropping below freezing and heavy snowfall in some regions.

The winters are harsh, particularly in the mountainous areas, making travel and daily life difficult for many Afghans.

Additionally, the bitter cold and harsh conditions can exacerbate the already challenging living conditions for those displaced by conflict and poverty.
