How to get out Bamiyan
Band-e Amir ? one of the most stunningly beautiful natural sights in the whole country, these turquoise lakes are definitely worth the effort. Day trips are popular, but if you have the time and don't mind roughing it, an overnight stay affords the best experience. A private hire minivan should run around 2-3000Afs depending on bargaining skills, and takes about 3 hours.
Shahr-e Zohak is a fort some 20 kilometers back towards Kabul that requires a jeep to get to. It's a ruined city at the top of cliffs. Your guide from the Buddhist site can also guide you here. Very interesting and great views from the top. We drove to a place where we crossed through some fields and then walked the path through the guard towers to the top. It did not require a jeep. Perhaps there is another way where you can drive closer that does, I don't know. En-route from Bamiyan there are also guard towers that are UNESCO world heritage sites.
