If you leave early in the morning, then you can stop at many places during your journey We also took good advantage of that time, stopped at Nuskhi to visit the vineyards, and bought grapes. Lunch at Kuchaki in a local hotel which is famous for its delicious and fresh food. Earlier, most tourists from Europe and London came to Pakistan and India from the same route, that's why it is known as London Road. Most of the road was deserted, you could see people and cars near the cities and villages. Apart from this, I was seeing a diesel and petrol smugglers car from Iran. That's why you can get half of diesel and petrol at a half-price anywhere. Irani diesel price is 55 rupes per liter usually the regular price of diesel on Pakistani pumps is 120 rupees and it's cost only 55 rupees.
After reaching the Tafan, we have visited the Pakistan-Iran border, the borders were closed because it was the evening you can see in my background border, on its another side it's Iran area you can see it's flag this is the last point after crossing the gate you are in Iranian territory you can see in front of you write, Welcome to the Islamic Republic of Iran may be due to light you can see it you can see Irani flay clearly you can see their people on another side the security personal have forbid-ed us not to travel from that point that why we avoid it and not take any risk from that point, how much possible, I will show you. Due to the high light, the sunset in my background you can see the immigration office in my background those people, who have a valid passport and visa to cross for Iran now we are going back then we go to the bazaar for shopping.
Along the Iranian border, the city is important in many respects, where not only is daily large-scale bilateral and informal trade held, but the area is also home to thousands of foreign visitors, traders, and place of pilgrims visiting the holy sites from thousands of kilometers to travel. After that, we visit the famous shop in Taftan to buy some Irani products. Now, we are in a shop to see some Irani products maybe buy something from here these shops bring the products from Iran usually they pay their bills in US dollars. You can find every Iran product in Taftan easily which include cosmetic items, biscuit's, sweets, washing powder, pickles, tea, biscuit, pack food, honey, dairy products, and clod drinks are included in it Due to better quality and less in price people like them very much Sohan Halwa, Iran Sohan Halwa (Sweet) is such delicious stuff we ate there. Also cooking oils and many other good quality commodities are so cheap in Taftan. Taftan is such a great city on the west side Iran is located and on the other hand north side, Afghanistan is located. People use to trade on these two borders usually. Our travel to Taftan was full of Adventure and we came back with good memories.
