SKI-BAM-2703.jpg

            Italian ski guide Nando Rollando, 49, treks along narrow dirt tracks past mud-brick farms, to reach snow in Afghanistan's Hindu Kush mountains. The veteran mountaineer spent a winter in Bamyan province, in Afghanistan's central highlands, guiding back-country skiiers as part of a project, supported by the Aga Khan Foundation and New Zealand Aid, to encourage tourism in one of Afghanistan's safest provinces. Bamyan - slated as one of the first places to switch from Nato to Afghan control later this year - is also home to Afghanistan's only National Park, at Band-e Amir, as well as a UNESCO world heritage site around the ancient Buddhist monastry which housed the world's tallest sitting Buddhas, carved into the cliff face, until they were destroyed by the Taleban in February 2001.
