In the last few years, I have been fortunate enough to visit and take some pictures of Natural scenes in the lovely but unexplored province of Balochistan.

Especially, the time of winter is a fascinating part of the year, the temperatures are freezing in and around Quetta and the majestic hills surround it.

Here are some of the pictures which give a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the place.

But much of the province remains hidden from Pakistani and international visitors.

With the promise of development in Gwadar port city and other places, I hope we will be able to explore the awesome beauty, history, and diversity of the place in both winters and summers.

The wintertime is really so great with sights of snow on the one hand, animals roaming down from the hills and above all the fruits that this place feeds us with like the grapes, apples and a lot more, which make the Pakistani province a dreamlike place of fruitful trees. The scenes are as beautiful as the people of the province, hospitable and generous.

Here are some pictures I took around Quetta of pomegranates, apples, and grapes in the order:
