Gorakh Hill, Mountain retreat in Dadu District, Pakistan.
The hill station stands at 1,734 meters elevation in the Kirthar Mountains, providing temperatures below 20°C during summer months and sub-zero readings in winter.
Medieval Hindu saint Gorakhnath wandered through these mountains, leading to the naming of this location after his spiritual influence in the region.
Local shepherds maintain traditional practices in the area, moving their livestock across the 2,500-acre plateau during seasonal migrations.
Visitors require 4x4 vehicles to access the station through Wahi Pandi town, with the final ascent covering 13 kilometers of mountain roads.
The location marks a natural boundary between Sindh and Baluchistan provinces, offering one of the few places in Sindh to experience snowfall during winter.

Pakistan offers photographers diverse subjects: mountain ranges above 13000 feet (4000 meters), Islamic architecture, desert landscapes and modern city views. The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad ranks among the largest mosques globally and displays contemporary design with white marble walls and four slender minarets. In Lahore, the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort document Mughal architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries, while Wazir Khan Mosque is known for its tile work. The northern areas present alpine settings: Attabad Lake formed in 2010 from a landslide and sits between steep mountains, the Passu Cones rise as jagged peaks above Hunza Valley, and Fairy Meadows offers views of Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain on Earth. Khunjerab Pass marks one of the highest border crossings in the world at 15400 feet (4693 meters) on the Pakistan-China frontier. The collection also includes historic fortifications and cultural sites. Rohtas Fort from the 16th century extends over 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of walls, Derawar Fort shows 40 bastions in the Cholistan Desert, and Ranikot Fort stands as one of South Asia's largest fortifications. The Makli Necropolis near Thatta contains tombs and mausoleums spanning six centuries. In Karachi, Mohatta Palace and Frere Hall document colonial architecture, while Mazar-e-Quaid serves as the mausoleum of founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Natural areas like Deosai National Park above 13000 feet (4000 meters) and the juniper forest of Ziarat complete the photographic range.
