I need to say this is a non-visit for me and thus also no picture. Your main objective to visit would be the wild ass population if you are into that. I take it your are not ;) I inquired about this place for my trip and the answer was that even the guides can't enter without permission, that is IF you have permission for this trip alone which isn't likely. There are security checks as it is near the border of Afghanistan and thus you'll be sent back. The pro for the site is that it's in the middle of nowhere and the wildlife can thrive here.
