Taftan (Urdu: تفتان) (Balochi: تپتان) is a trunk road and railway town in Chagai District, Balochistan, Pakistan.[2] It is one of Pakistan's border crossings with Iran. It is by either road or rail over 500 km (310 mi) from Quetta. It is 62 kilometres (39 mi) northeast of the thermally active dark peak or small massif also called Taftan, wholly in Iran. At its western extreme, the border crossing point of Iran is Mirjaveh.
Transport
It is on the N40 road. This becomes the road 84 in Iran's system, and which meanders via Kerman to a number change west of Rafsanjan. It is served by its railway station on the line commonly described as the Quetta-Taftan Line but which, since 1940, continues to Zahedan, Iran.
