Sheikh Buddin National Park

Sheikh Buddin National Park spans 15,540 hectares within the eastern extension of the Sulaiman Mountains, featuring mountains, valleys, and diverse vegetation.

The Sheikh Badin Hills received their name from Sheikh Bahaudin, a Sufi who settled in the area during the 17th century before becoming a British summer headquarters.

Two tribes inhabit the park: the Mughals, who arrived after the 1857 British war, and the Syeds, descendants of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jelaani.

The national park maintains regular visiting hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore its natural environments and observe wildlife.

The park houses 41 bird species, 107 plant varieties, and 23 species of reptiles and amphibians, including the Bengal monitor and Russell's viper.
