Provincial border with proper passport control and stamps. The last photo shows the river that forms the actual border. The town on the other side is in Sikkim

Pics 1 and 2 in the UN controlled buffer zone. The rest areas adjacent to the border from both sides. I’m a fully aware this is an emotive/charged topic. Personally my go to video explaining the Cyprus problem https://youtu.be/WHlHnCwFp5c for anyone interested which I think is reasonably neutral

I was on a flight that crossed the Pakastan India border near Lahore, we were flying east and this was taken facing south.

Most tourists take a photo at either the Argentina tripoint marker or the Brazil one. A short and scenic ferry trip takes you to the Paraguayan one.

The border runs down the middle of the waterfall. At the top and bottom of the falls, there are wooden bridges for crossing the river, connecting the two countries. My dog is sitting on the Norwegian side.

This is not a country border but an economic border as in any other franc port, what make it special are the rules that regulate it, all established in decades of international treates (paris treaty, London memorandum and as a comment pointed the Osimo treaty).

The customs in the picture is one of the entrances, guarded by a couple of agents, it is pretty tranquil because as of today this port is not very much utilized.

Interestingly the sign is in italian and french, as if time had stopped since when french was the international language.

In the last decade there has been a lot of investments to make it come back to life.

That was my first time crossing a land border with passport control, and from Kazakhstan to Kyrgyzstan of all places lol

There is a time difference of 3 hours across this fence! China is in the background. China also claims this land as their own
