Khuzdar, in central Balochistan, is an underrated district, a mix of ancient history, dramatic waterfalls and authentic Balochi culture that sees far fewer visitors than its attractions deserve.

Moola Chotok: A striking ravine roughly 105km northeast of Khuzdar town, home to Chotok Waterfall and emerald pools surrounded by tall cliffs, one of Balochistan's most rewarding natural sites, offering hiking, swimming and camping.

Charo Machi Waterfalls: Roughly 45km southeast of Khuzdar, this waterfall creates a striking turquoise oasis amid otherwise arid mountains, a genuine surprise given the surrounding desert landscape.

Khuzdar Fort and history: Khuzdar's history stretches back to Arab rule under the name Qusdar, later serving as capital of the Khanate of Kalat following an 1869 conflict, the old fort ruins reflect this layered political history.

Local food: Sajji (lamb roasted over an open fire) and Namkeen Roast are genuine Balochi specialities worth seeking out at local restaurants along the RCD Road.

Getting there: Located on the highway connecting Pakistan to Iran, making it a natural stop for travelers exploring central Balochistan or those simply passing through en route to Karachi.

Best time to visit: October-November and February-March, avoiding Balochistan's harsh summer and winter extremes.
