Band-e-Amir lake landscape in Bamyan province

The blue lakes of Band-e-Amir stand out against the surrounding highland landscape. Their natural formations are a distinctive part of the place, which became Afghanistan's first national park in 2009.

A landscape excursion should leave room for observation rather than treat every viewpoint as a checklist. Stay on permitted paths and care for the surroundings.

A photograph is not evidence of present-day access. Visitor rules and restrictions must be checked for the individual traveller and requested date before a programme is confirmed.
