Afghanistan - Wink Travel Guide

Afghanistan is a landlocked and mountainous country in the heart of Asia. This is a land full of mystical attractions, telling tales of ancient times and offering beautiful Islamic architecture, medieval city quarters and unexpectedly stunning nature.

Several sites are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Most famous of course, were the ancient Buddhist sculptures of Bamiyan.

The Band-e Amir National Park, with its six interlinked lakes, is perhaps the finest natural attraction. Excellent mosques are to be found all around, with particularly grand examples in Mazar-i-Sharif and in the rapidly developing Herat.
