I did this route in the 70s. using a VW. Combi van. Taking our time it took us 6 months. Ain't no way I'd consider going through Afghanistan now. It was a bit dicey even then but I reckon it would be suicidal now.

I do think it would be nuts to go that way, even the Balkan's are dodgy so you could never get as far as Mid East.

If you were doing a road trip now, it would make more sense to go Russia/China I guess, and they are opening up more and more.
