Bamyan tourism has become Afghanistan’s best-known travel story because of the extraordinary landscapes of the central highlands. The Bamiyan Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where huge Buddha statues, destroyed in 2001, once stood in cliffs honeycombed with caves and monasteries. A few hours away, Band-e Amir National Park has deep-blue lakes divided by natural travertine dams. Hazara hospitality, ruined hilltop citadels and high Hindu Kush scenery complete the picture. Summer is the most comfortable season, while winters are very cold. Travel advisories from India and most other governments currently recommend against visiting Bamyan.
