Balochistan, Administrative region in western Pakistan.
The region contains mountain ranges, desert plains, and a coastline along the Arabian Sea, with elevations ranging from sea level to 3,000 meters.
The territory became an official province of Pakistan in 1970, after existing as multiple independent princely states during the British colonial period.
The Baloch people maintain traditional ceremonies with male performers playing the banjo-like damboora instrument while singing poems in the Balochi language.
The province generates substantial natural gas reserves, contributing over one-third of Pakistan's total gas production from fields near the city of Sui.
The Hingol National Park preserves ancient mud volcanoes, natural rock formations, and a population of wild Sindh ibex in their natural habitat.
