Band-e-Amir National Park is a dramatic highland landscape in central Afghanistan, known for its deep blue lakes surrounded by cliffs, barren mountains, and natural travertine dams. As Afghanistan’s first national park, it stands out for its striking contrast of bright water against the rugged terrain of Bamiyan Province. The park is a memorable destination for hiking, photography, and seeing one of the country’s most distinctive natural landmarks.
