Eastern Iran & Afghanistan.
Hello everyone,
Currently taking a break on my overland ride across Asia but I will soon hop back on the Bander Abbas-bound ferry from Sharjah and start riding north towards Mashhad.
I am looking at a route in the eastern part of the country : Bam-Kerman-the Kaluts area-Birjand-Taybad-Torbat e Jam-Mashhad.
On my map the Kerman to Birjand stretch looks pretty desolate and last I heard there were checkpoints and military activity in the area. Is it doable ?
Has anyone travelled it recently ?
Then there is Afghanistan nearby... I'd be tempted to do a quick foray across the border to visit Herat. Realistic or unrealistic ?
Thanks for your input,
Levelo.
