Tourist Places in Ziarat

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.
