Torkham is a town belonging to Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, right on the border with Pakistan. It is linked by a highway with Jalalabad to the west, Peshawar in Pakistan to the east, and is only five kilometers west of the Khyber Pass. Torkham is the busiest port of entry between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is also a major transporting, shipping and receiving site between the two neighboring countries.[1]
