The capital of Balochistan, ringed by dry mountains and known for its fruit orchards, Hanna Lake and the ancient juniper forests of nearby Ziarat, a completely different Pakistan from the northern mountains or southern coast.
Summary:
Quetta has been a strategic garrison and trade city for centuries, sitting near the historic routes linking South Asia to Afghanistan and Central Asia through the Bolan Pass. It was largely rebuilt after a devastating 1935 earthquake that levelled much of the old city, and grew through the 20th century as Balochistan's administrative and military centre.
Quetta sits in a valley at around 1,680m, ringed by the dry, dramatic Zarghun and Chiltan mountain ranges, roughly 120km from the Afghan border via the historic Bolan Pass and Khojak Pass trade routes.
A mix of Baloch, Pashtun and Hazara communities gives Quetta a distinct frontier city character, with a lively fruit and dry fruit market culture reflecting the region's orchards and its role as a trade hub toward Afghanistan.
A rare Pakistani destination with cold, snowy winters (December February) and mild, dry summers, a welcome escape from the heat of the plains in the hottest months.
