Şırnak is a town in .

Hitchhiking out

East towards Hakkari

This is, by far, the most militarized road in Turkey and there's a scarcity of vehicles. However the hitchhiker who perseveres and brings with him/her a fair amount of time and a whole lote of patience will be generously rewarded as this is (in hitchhiker Theo's modest opinion) the most scenic road in Turkey.

From the city centre you simply ask people for directions to Hakkari Yolu (there are almost no signs). Once you get to the Jandarma base you'll be able to see where the road from the city intersects with the 'ring road' which dont pass through Sirnak. There's a great hitchhiking spot about 50 meter after the intersection. Either walk the 2 kilometers there or try to hitch a ride.

You're likely to end up drinking tea with some soldiers as their bases are always located at intersections.

Update: it's currently a war there now so you're not likely allowed to enter the road.
