Money changer, Taftan

If you visit Taftan and if you don't get to see Iranian notes, then I think the entire exercise is not completed. Therefore, I first photographed these notes and then got one for my brother, Ovais Adhia. Because he is a great collector of currency notes from around the world.

Baluchistan Diary - Day 10 / Pakistan-Iran border, Taftan

Well, this is the farthest point we visited on this expedition. And it was a moment we both were waiting for. The place is not so hot as I had imagined earlier. Taftan surely is a place to remember. One may cross into Iran, if one has the visa.

For your information, our electricity for Taftan is purchased from Iran. Additionally, one may buy SIM cards, shampoos, chocolates, soaps and other Irani products from its markets. The trade is excellent and one will be fascinated to find so many different men walking around the streets.
