Aditi Kashyap

Bamiyan, Afghanistan is home to Buddhist heritage sites and natural landscapes. It contains remnants of giant Buddha statues carved into cliffs in the 3rd-6th centuries AD, though the statues were destroyed in 2001. The Band-e-Amir lakes are a popular natural site. Tourism has increased in recent years but basic infrastructure is still limited. The area represents cultural exchange along the Silk Road and contains both Buddhist and Islamic architectural remains.

Located in Bamiyan, the countrys first national park. Separated by natural dams, each lake is several meters lower than the one above it. The largest lake, Zulfiqar, measures 490 hectares.
