Hiding deep in Khuzdar district is an oasis known as Moola Chutok, which is also known as one of the most beautiful tourist spots in Balochistan. The scenic view of plants soaking in the fresh and clean water coming down in the form of beautiful waterfalls from the mountains is pretty relaxing. There\u2019s a widespread misconception that Balochistan is merely a dry and barren piece of land, but visiting Moola Chutok will change this perspective forever. Found at an elevation of over a 1000 metres, this tourist spot is 80 km north-east of the city of Khuzdar. The idea of camping in this heavenly place would be ideal but the temperatures here can go extreme, both in summers and winters. So, prepare accordingly. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Urak Valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Urak Valley in Balochistan\" class=\"wp-image-53921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-74.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Urak Valley is an amazing place in Balochistan that is surrounded by amazing mountainous views\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We know with every name that we are mentioning here, this piece is getting more interesting.

With fresh spring water running through both sides of the road, Urak Valley is an amazing site to visit. This area is also very famous for farming of fruits as vast fields of apples and cherries are quite visible as you drive through the valley of Urak. Another distinctive feature of Urak Valley that makes most people fall in love with it is the presence of fresh springs of water falling from above the mountains. The valley of Urak is situated right next to another very famous picnic place in Balochistan, known as the Hanna Lake, that is another majestic tourist spot in Balochistan, next on our list.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hanna Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanna Lake, locally known as Hanna Jheel, is one of the biggest tourist attractions that exhibits natural beauty of Balochistan. This place is also just a few minutes\u2019 drive from the city of Quetta. In the past few years, a drought-like situation almost dried up Hanna Lake but thanks to the recent change in weather, the lake is filled with water again. Tourists from all over the country visit this beautiful place in Balochistan. This historical lake was formed as a result of the construction of the reservoir in the British colonial era. A lakeside restaurant that has a seating arrangement under the shade of pine trees makes Hanna Lake an incredible picnic spot. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hazarganji-Chiltan National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most amazing places to visit in Balochistan offering breathtaking natural beauty of Balochistan with views of dry mountains is Hazarganji-Chiltan National Park.

Covering thousands of acres, this tourist spot is located in the suburbs of the city of Quetta. Hazarganji-Chiltan national park\u2019s name is inspired by its surrounding areas as on its west is the area of Hazarganji and on its east is Chiltan. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ziarat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"A panoramic view of Ziarat in Balochistan\" class=\"wp-image-53922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-70.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ziarat in the province of Balochistan is one of the most heavenly places on earth\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ziarat, which is also the capital town of Ziarat District, stands among the most beautiful places to visit in Balochistan.
