The town's main attraction is the Torghundi custom house and border checkpoint, which officially connects Afghanistan by road with Turkmenistan.

Torghundi is connected by both a regular road and a 1520 mm gauge railroad with the neighboring town of Serhetabat in Turkmenistan.

The city of Herat in Afghanistan is located about 100 km (62 mi) of driving distance south from Torghundi.

The railroad at Torghundi was originally established in the early 1960s as a single track,[1] and was upgraded in 2017.

Situated at 678 m (2,224 ft) above sea level in the Kushk District of Herat Province, Torghundi serves as one of the major transporting, shipping and receiving locations in Afghanistan.
