Gholghola City, also known as the City of Screams, is an ancient ruined city near Bamiyan, Afghanistan, dating back to the 6th-13th centuries. It was tragically destroyed by Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Due to the ongoing political instability in Afghanistan, accessibility may be severely limited, and travel is highly discouraged without a local guide or security. Independent travel is extremely risky. Seasonal restrictions may apply due to weather conditions, particularly during winter. The cost of visiting, if possible, would likely include transportation to Bamiyan, local guide fees, and potential security costs. A visit could last a few hours, depending on the extent of exploration and security considerations. Travelers should verify the current security situation prior to travel.
