Visit the stunning blue lakes of Band-e-Amir, a series of six deep blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine, a mineral deposit. The name Band-e Amir means "Commander's Dam," which is believed by some to be a reference to Ali, the first Imam of Muslims (Shias) and the fourth Caliph of Islam (to Sunnis). The area is dominated by ethnic Hazaras, who make up around 23% of Afghanistan's population. Band-e Amir was supposed to become Afghanistan's first national park in the 1960s, but this was postponed due to political crises and decades of wars. In 2004, Band-e Amir was submitted for recognition as a World Heritage site. In 2009, Band-e Amir was finally declared Afghanistan's first national park. As of 2013, tourists visit Band-e Amir National Park every year. Journey back to Bamyan and explore this breathtaking natural wonder. Drive back to Kabul.
