Very remote and desolate, they are most easily visited from Bamiyan. Shared minivans leave in the high season on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and cost 150 Afg. Otherwise take a minivan towards Yakawlang 200Af and get off at the turn-off to the lakes. From there it's a 3 hour hot walk... bring some water.
Private hire minivans are also available 3 hours and should cost 2000-2500Af, but you will have to bargain very hard for this price. You could also negotiate an overnight stay into the price for a little extra. Don't be shy to ask them to stop for pics en route to the lakes, the scenery is stunning.
All services at the lakes close up around mid-November and reopen around March.
