Band-e Amir National Park, located in the Yakawlang District of Bamyan Province in central Afghanistan, is renowned for its stunning series of six deep blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine, a mineral deposit. The park was established in 2009 and became Afghanistan's first national park, aimed at preserving its unique geological formations and diverse ecosystems. The lakes, including Band-e Haibat, Band-e Panir, Band-e Zulfiqar, Band-e Pudina, Band-e Gholaman, and Band-e Qambar, are fed by natural springs and offer breathtaking scenery against the backdrop of rugged, mountainous terrain.
