A historic town that served as the capital of the Khanate of Kalat until 1955, home to the Miri Fort and the Khan's White Palace.
Summary:
Founded as the seat of the Khanate of Kalat in 1666 under Mir Ahmad Khan I, the Khanate at its peak covered much of modern Balochistan before being dissolved and merged into Pakistan through the 1950s. The title "Khan of Kalat" is still held ceremonially by descendants today.
Located roughly in the centre of Balochistan province, at elevation in a mountainous, valley dotted landscape; nearby Mount Harboi holds notable juniper forest.
A blend of Brahui and Baloch cultural traditions, Kalat is known for traditional music, dance and distinctive Balochi embroidery, celebrated annually at the Kalat Festival (Jashn e Kalat) each October.
A cold desert climate, warm summers (around 25°C in July) and cold winters (occasionally well below freezing in January); spring and autumn are most comfortable for visiting.
