Pony Express hand-carries urgent shipments to Bala Koh, Afghanistan — a name that translates roughly as "high mountain," reflecting the remote, elevated terrain typical of this part of the country. Rather than trusting time-critical items to general air freight, our on-board courier (OBC) service assigns one courier to your shipment from UK collection through to personal delivery. Call 0800 288 4052 or email sales@ponyexpress.co.uk for a route and quote.

Reaching remote terrain

Mountainous destinations like Bala Koh often mean a longer final leg once the courier lands in Afghanistan. We plan the fastest realistic combination of flights and onward transport and keep you updated at each milestone.

What we carry

Shipments on this type of route typically include AOG parts, legal and financial paperwork, medical supplies, and equipment for infrastructure or aid projects operating in remote areas.

Customs and clearance

We prepare invoices and any required import paperwork ahead of departure so your courier can clear Afghan customs promptly before the onward journey to Bala Koh.
