Discover the Hidden Gems of Afghanistan: A Journey Beyond the Ordinary

Afghanistan is often described as the crossroads of history — a place where ancient civilizations, breathtaking nature, and warm hospitality come together. While global headlines often focus on the challenges, there is another side to Afghanistan that remains largely unseen: its hidden gems, untouched by mass tourism and overflowing with beauty.

At Hewad Friends Travel Agency, we believe that travel is about more than ticking places off a list. It’s about experiencing culture, meeting people, and discovering places that stay in your heart forever. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to showing travelers a side of Afghanistan they never knew existed — a land of turquoise lakes, ancient monuments, majestic mountains, and warm smiles.

Band-e-Amir: Afghanistan’s Turquoise Treasure

Located in the Bamyan Province, Band-e-Amir National Park is Afghanistan’s first national park and one of its most beautiful natural wonders. Imagine six deep-blue lakes surrounded by rugged mountains — a view so stunning it feels like it belongs in a painting. The water is crystal clear, changing shades of blue as the sunlight moves across the sky.

Whether you’re boating on the lake, hiking the surrounding trails, or simply sitting by the water enjoying the silence, Band-e-Amir is a place that renews the soul. Our team at Hewad Friends can arrange comfortable transport, knowledgeable local guides, and the best lodging options nearby so you can enjoy this magical place without worry.

Herat: The City of Poetry and Blue Domes

Herat is one of Afghanistan’s oldest and most culturally rich cities. Known as the Pearl of Khorasan, it has been a center of art, architecture, and scholarship for centuries. The blue-tiled mosques, ancient citadel, and lively bazaars make it a must-visit for history lovers.

Walking through Herat feels like stepping back in time — the air is filled with the scent of spices, the sound of artisans at work, and the sight of centuries-old buildings standing proudly against the sky. With Hewad Friends, you can explore these treasures with a guide who knows the city’s secrets, ensuring you experience its true soul.

Kabul: More Than the Capital

Many travelers see Kabul only as a busy gateway city, but those who take the time to explore discover vibrant markets, delicious food, and fascinating museums. From the Kabul Museum to the Gardens of Babur, the capital offers a blend of history and modern Afghan life.

Our guided city tours include cultural stops, shopping experiences, and the best local restaurants — so you taste and feel the real Kabul.
