Zahedan is the capital of Baluchistan province in Iran. If you're not going through Afghanistan you'll have to pass through Zahedan on the overland route from Istanbul to New Delhi.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By air

The airport is on the outskirts of the city, and has connections to Tehran, Isfahan, Kerman, Mashhad in Iran and also an International flight to Dubai

[edit] By train

Trains run twice a month from Quetta in Pakistan, leaving Quetta on the 1st and 15th every month. The journey takes around 11 hours and costs around 1000 Pakistani rupees.

The railroad from Bam/Kerman to Zahedan was finally inaugurated in June 2009, with traffic commencing in August. There will be direct Tehran-Zahedan trains, but as of yet there is very little information available on this service.

[edit] Get out

  • Pakistan - this is a likely candidate for why you're here in the first place, but make sure you've got a visa before coming, as the consulate here no longer issues them. Mashad also has a Pakistani Consulate where you can get visas there, which is the nearest place to pick one up. Also Tehran has a Pakistani Embassy.
