Ziarat, Balochistan
VerifiedAbout Ziarat, Balochistan
Ziarat is a small hill resort in Balochistan at 2,449 metres, famous for having the world's second largest juniper forest — some trees are estimated to be 5,000 years old. The valley experiences heavy snowfall in winter and mild summers (15–20°C) making it a rare cool destination in otherwise hot Balochistan. The Ziarat Residency — a Quetta-stone bungalow where Pakistan's founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent his final days in 1948 — is a national monument. The juniper-covered mountains, fresh spring water, and serene atmosphere make Ziarat a hidden gem.

Pakistan's best-kept secret
Ziarat is extraordinary — 5,000-year-old juniper trees, clean mountain air, cool climate, and the emotional visit to Jinnah's Residency. Very few tourists come here which makes it even more special. The forest walks are peaceful and beautiful.
Underrated gem of Balochistan
The drive from Quetta through the mountains is beautiful. Ziarat itself is serene and charming. The Residency is moving to visit. Best in spring when juniper trees bloom. Highly recommend for a quiet, authentic experience.
