Balochistan Sphinx

The natural stone formation displays a distinct shape with facial features, including a defined jawline, eyes, nose, and mouth carved by erosion patterns.

The structure became accessible to visitors in 2004 with the completion of the Makran Coastal Highway connecting Karachi to the port of Gwadar.

Local geologists and researchers study the formation to understand the geological processes that created its sphinx-like appearance through wind and water erosion.

Travelers can reach the formation by taking the Makran Coastal Highway from Karachi, located approximately 240 kilometers from the site in Hingol National Park.

The formation exhibits proportions and features comparable to the Egyptian Sphinx, including shapes resembling a head-dress and defined paws at its base.
