Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 8 days.
What it costs

Best for: Six lakes dammed by natural travertine, and two empty niches that tell you what was lost
Afghanistan in 8 days: Band-e-Amir, the Bamiyan niches and Herat
Kabul → Bamiyan → Band-e-Amir → Mazar-i-Sharif → Herat
