Hingol mud volcano

Hingol mud volcano is a group of geological formations in Lasbela where mud and gases escape from multiple craters scattered across the landscape. These eruption points vary in size and show different levels of activity over time.

The area holds traces of ancient settlements, showing that people have lived in this region of Balochistan for thousands of years. This continuous presence indicates the site has been part of human history for a very long time.

Hindu pilgrims visit the Chandragup volcano year-round, performing rituals that involve offering coconuts and traditional roti bread into the craters as acts of devotion.

Access to the site is through Hingol National Park, so proper preparation and suitable equipment are necessary for the visit. The cooler months from October through March offer the most comfortable conditions for exploration.

The site contains three main formations called Chandragup 1, 2, and 3, with the tallest reaching about 90 meters in height. Many visitors overlook that the volcanoes remain active and regularly produce fresh mud eruptions.
