Band-e Amir lakes - Band-e Haibat

view map

Band-e Amir (Persian: بند امیر, meaning "Dam of the Amir") refers to five lakes high in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Central Afghanistan near the famous Buddhas of Bamyan.
The five constituents lakes of Band-e Amir are Band-e Gholaman (slaves), Band-e Qambar (Caliph Ali's slave), Band-e Haibat (grandiose), Band-e Panir (cheese), Band-e Pudina (wild mint) and Band-e Zulfiqar (the sword of Ali). Band-e Haibat is the biggest and the deepest of the five with an average depth of approximately 80 meters.
Band-e Amir was to become Afghanistan's first national park in the 1960s but thanks to the instability of Kabul government this never happened.

Les lacs Band-e Amir ("le barrage de l'émir" en persan) sont cinq lacs d'altitude dans le massif de l'Hindu Kush, au centre de l'Afghanistan, à proximité des célèbres Bouddhas de Bamiyan.
Les cinq lacs de Band-e Amir sont: le lac Band-e Gholaman (esclaves), le Band-e Qambar (l'esclave du Caliphe Ali), Band-e Haibat (grandiose), Band-e Panir (fromage), Band-e Pudina (menthe sauvage) et le Band-e Zulfiqar (le sabre d'Ali). Le lac Band-e Haibat est le plus grand et le plus profond des cinq avec une profondeur moyenne d'environ 80 mètres.
Le site des lacs de Band-e Amir était sur le point de devenir le premier parc national d'Afghanistan dans les années 60 mais ce projet ne se concrétisa pas en raison de l'instabilité du governement de Kaboul.

c'est tellement jolie, mec. J'ai regardé toutes des vos photos, et puis, je veux visiter l'asie centrale de plus. (bad french, sorry, i'm american) est que tu pense que band-e-amir reste assez secure pour les blanches d'y visiter?

merci pour les photos, mec. surtout celles de badakshan. celles ont l'air tellement isolé et accidenté.
