A stage in Khorasan, on the road from Blrjand to Herat by Fahreh. It
is 15 miles from the village of Gazik. Gulvarda is the most northern point
of the Tag-i-Namadi : there are said to be customs sowars at this well
under the Mirza of Avaz. The Afghans are said to graze right up to
Gulvarda , my informant, who was in the service of the farmer of customs
before the Belgian ever came, told me that the Persian Customs sowars
never ventured further east. A track from Gazik and Avaz to Anardarrah

There is a well called Puzehjanga on this track.— (Keyes, 1904.)
