Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Torghundi Serhetabat Visa Prep in Regulated Desert
The 804-kilometer border between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan is a stark frontier where the deserts of Central Asia meet a country shaped by decades of conflict. This is one of the most regulated and least-traveled borders in the region for foreigners. Your crossing here is a move into one of the world’s most closed societies, requiring precise documentation and an understanding of the strict local rules.
Aqina Lapis Lazuli Remote Trade Corridor Option
There are two main international crossings you can use. The primary one is at Torghundi in Afghanistan’s Herat province, connecting to Serhetabat in Turkmenistan. This crossing lies on a major trade route. A second, more remote option is the Aqina-Imamnazar crossing further east, which has been developed as part of the Lapis Lazuli transport corridor to enhance regional trade.
