The D400 between Şırnak and Yüksekova is one the best drives in Turkey. Between Yemişli and Ortaköy it follows the border with Iraq. The whole road is full of military checkpoints where you will be stopped and asked what you are doing here…. There are almost no foreigners who travel this part of Turkey because it has the reputation of being very dangerous. But if you dare you will be treated with spectacular views and welcoming people everywhere.
