Insider tip — Tangi Saidan Hot Springs flow through a dramatic gorge in Bamiyan Province, the same high-altitude valley that once sheltered the great Buddha statues. At 38 degrees, the sulfurous spring offers a rare natural respite in one of the world's most remote and historically layered landscapes. Access requires a trek through the narrow canyon, and the reward is an entirely unspoiled thermal experience backed by rust-red cliffs thousands of metres above sea level.
