The province of Balochistan, which covers almost half of the area of Pakistan, is full of beautiful, fascinating and surprising places. Adorned with diverse geographical features and picturesque landscapes, the land of Balochistan showcases many aspects of nature including seas, rivers, high mountains, deserts, forests, waterfalls and lakes.
Some of these picturesque spots are where citizens often go for picnics, especially during the Eid holidays.
