Qargha Lake

14 Aug 2010 | no comments » Helmand, Nature, historical

Qargha Lake is a perfect place to go for a walk and picnicking. It is located above the Kabul golf-course, If you desire to play gulf there, just watch out when you hit the ball with your golf club, it may touch a mine ;) Qargha Lake is a place that rich and poor can spend their weekends and wash out their worries. It is only about 9 kilometers in the northwest of Kabul city and close to Paghman. This is the most favorite of the weekend getaways and sightseeing places among the local Afghans as well as tourists during spring and summer times.

Band-e Amir was to become Afghanistan’s first national park in the 1960s, but due to the instability of the Kabul government at the time, this did not happen. In 2004, Band-e Amir was submitted for recognition as a World Heritage site. In 2008, Band-e Amir was finally declared Afghanistan’s first national park.
