Awaran District

Awaran is an administrative district in Balochistan featuring mountainous terrain with elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 meters. It is organized into three administrative tehsils connected by an extensive road network that links scattered communities together.

Established in 1992 following separation from Khuzdar, it was previously a tehsil under the Jhalawan Division of Kalat State. This administrative reorganization transformed how the area was governed and developed.

The population speaks Balochi as their main language, and tribal traditions remain central to daily life and community organization. These social bonds shape how people interact and make decisions together.

The terrain is hilly and requires care when traveling, especially during rainy seasons when roads become difficult to access. Visitors should plan ahead and consider local guidance to reach scattered settlements safely.

Part of the district lies within Hingol National Park, which holds a surprising variety of wildlife species. The park is known for supporting diverse mammals, reptiles, and birds that thrive in this arid mountainous setting.
