Band-e-Amir Lake, Afghanistan

Exceptionally remote and barren, they are most effortlessly went by from Bamiyan. Shared minivans leave in the high season on Thursday evening and Friday morning and cost 150 Afg. Generally take a minivan towards Yakawlang (200Af) and get off at the swing off to the lakes. From that point it's a 3 hour hot walk... bring some water.
Private contract minivans are likewise accessible (3 hours) and ought to cost 2000-2500Af, yet you will need to deal hard at this cost. You could likewise arrange an overnight stay into the cost for somewhat additional. Try not to be modest to approach them to stop for pics on the way to the lakes, the view is dazzling.
All administrations at the lakes close up around mid-November and revive around March.
The delightful lakes were made by the carbon dioxide rich water that is drawn from the spring melt-water in the encompassing mountains and turned out from issues and splits in the rough scene. This surge of water permeates gradually through the hidden limestone, dissolving its primary mineral, calcium carbonate. After some time, the water saved layers of solidified mineral (travertine), which made dams that trap water in progressively extensive bowls. These dams are for the most part around 10m high and 3m wide. Water falls from one lake to the next close travertine patios serving as monstrous common dams between the lakes.
