About Band-e Amir

Band-e Amir is Afghanistan's first national park, featuring a series of six deep blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine. The lakes are situated in the Hindu Kush mountains at approximately 3000 meters above sea level. The area is known for its distinctive geological features and pristine waters that contrast dramatically with the surrounding desert landscape.
