“The name of Alexander and the Muslim conquers like Muhammad Bin Qasim, Mehmood Ghaznavi and Nasir-ud-Din Kabacha are associated with this place. Mir Chaker Khan Rind, the legendary Baloch hero, built a massive fort in the 15th century near Sibi, the remains of which are found near the town. Sibi is connecting with Quetta, Karachi, Jacobabad, Sukkur and Hyderabad route. Sibi is a historical city of Balochistan. Its actual name is SIVI (name of a Hindu Princess).”

Pir Ghaib, famous picnic spot in Quetta! …Pir Ghaib (Invisible saint) is a beautiful oase surrounded from all sides by mountains.No one knows about the exact historical validity of a Saint’s Grave.
nice pictures, thanks for posting! :) Personally I think Balochistan is the prettiest province of Pakistan landscape wise, as far as Gwadar is concerned I hope they keep the water clean and not turn it into a mud hole with the passage of time.
This is beautiful view of tunnel and bridge over river on the railway track in Balochistan from “Rohri to Quetta”.
