The nascent steps of what I'm sure will grow into a prolific tourism industry.
International For no reason in particular, let's check in on the Taliban

Photos allegedly depicting Taliban terrorists on swan-shaped pedal boats in the middle of a deep blue lake in eastern Afghanistan’s Band-e Amir National Park circulated on social media over the weekend, the New York Post reported Sunday.
“More than two dozen Taliban fighters, armed with rocket launchers and assault rifles, were seen riding in colorful, swan-themed pedal boats at Band-e Amir National Park in the eastern Bamiyan province of Afghanistan Saturday,” according to the Post.
“In one of the photos shared to Twitter by reporter Jake Hanrahan, a Taliban fighter appears to be aiming a rocket-propelled grenade,” the newspaper observed.
Yahoo News Australia identified Hanrahan as a “journalist and filmmaker” on Sunday while reporting on the images posted to his official Twitter account on September 18. Breitbart News has not been able to independently verify the authenticity of the photos in question.
Murad Gazdiev, a correspondent for the Russian state-owned news site RT also shared the lake images to his official Twitter account on September 19. He described the Taliban members depicted in the photos as “relaxing” at Band-e-Amir National Park, which was once a popular tourist destination within Bamiyan province.
“Not sure why one would bring a rocket launcher with him onto a pedal boat, but here are a bunch of Taliban fighters relaxing at Band-e-Amir national park,” Gazdiev wrote in an accompanying caption.
ETV Andhra Pradesh, a local TV station in southeastern India’s Andhra Pradesh state, published the same photos of Taliban fighters allegedly enjoying a day on the lake during a live news segment on September 19.
The Taliban are sound, nowadays, aren't they! Chilled out a lot!
On a serious note, that national park looks beautiful. Somewhere I'd love to visit. A mate's dad backpacked in Afghanistan back in the day and said it was amazing, really popular with backpackers / independent travellers on the 'Silk Road' (ish) region.

My dad used to live there in the 70s. He had tons of photos from that time and the place looked incredible.
