Two borders away
These 18 countries border a neighbour of Pakistan but not Pakistan itself, so you cross exactly two borders to reach them by land.

Border Chain gives you two countries and you connect them by naming neighbours, one border at a time. A new puzzle every day.
How far are you from Pakistan?
On a phone this uses GPS. The calculator opens with Pakistan already selected and measures the straight-line distance to its nearest border.
