Travel Stories & Guides

A journey through Bamyan

From the Buddha niches to Band-e-Amir, discover the places at the heart of our Kabul & Bamyan journey.

Some journeys are shaped by a city. Others are shaped by the landscapes that unfold beyond it. A visit to Bamyan brings history and mountain scenery into the same travel experience.

Silk Vista’s Kabul & Bamyan tour combines time in the capital with the Bamyan Valley, Buddha niches and Band-e-Amir. The five-day, four-night package also includes Kabul city, the National Museum, Darul Aman and local cultural experiences.

The valley’s historical sites and the blue waters of Band-e-Amir offer different ways to experience the region. Leave space in your plans to enjoy the journey itself, as well as the places you visit. Your day-by-day route is arranged with the team around your dates and interests.

The package includes hotel accommodation, private transportation, a multilingual guide and translator, meals, entrance fees, required permits, refreshments, airport transfers and local coordination. Traditional Afghan clothing is also included as a cultural experience and souvenir.

If you would like to continue farther into central Afghanistan, the seven-day Kabul, Bamyan & Ghor tour adds Ghor Province and the Minaret of Jam. Speak with Silk Vista about the route and arrangements that fit your plans.
