Afghanistan Top Things To See

• Head to the Valley of Paghman, 90 minutes by road west of the capital, where the stark mountains await.
• To the north, Karez-i-Amir, Charikar and the Valley of Chakardara has stunning scenery.
• Marvel at the Hindu Kush, a wild and remote region consisting of two huge mountain ranges. Although travelling by car is possible, the steepness of the routes makes vehicles prone to breakdowns. For those who make the journey, the mountains, valleys and lakes provide stunning scenery.
• Visit Bamian the main town near the Hindu Kush. The second- to fifth-century Great Buddhas were destroyed here to international outcry in 2001.
