Balochistan

Pakistan's largest and emptiest province — desert badlands, juniper highlands and the Makran coast.

About this region

Balochistan covers close to half the country's land area with a small fraction of its people: the eroded badlands of Hingol, the ancient juniper forests around Ziarat, and a long Arabian Sea coastline.
