| Baluchistan is the largest province
of Pakistan but only 4% of Pakistan’s population is living in this part and most of
them stay in and around Quetta, the capital of the province.
A tribal of nomadic and seminomadic people herding
sheep, goats and camels populates Baluchistan. They are mainly Pattans, Balochs and
Brahuis. Most of Baluchistan lies outside of the monsoon system, therefore the climate is
extremely dry. Baluchistan is one of the hottest spots on earth, 50C° in the shade, if you
can find some. Let’s discover this marvelous part of Pakistan!
