Hingol National Park has an alien looking landscape with unique rock formations, vast canyons, dramatic views and even a mud volcano, making you feel like you’re stranded on another planet.
It is the largest national park in Pakistan and covers over 6.100 sq km and is located 190 km from Karachi, making it an ideal trip for those staying in Karachi. The park is named after the Hingul river which flows into the Arabian Sea and is home to large numbers of marine life. As it has six different ecosystems with desert, plains, forest, mountains and home to a large number of birds, reptiles and elusive mammals such as leopards, wolves and ibex, it’s one of the most unique national parks in Pakistan and maybe even its neighbouring countries. Because of the highway which runs through the park it is easily accessible, drawing many visitors who come to stare in awe at the rock formations.
We start our tour early in the morning leaving from Karachi and we’ll drive through the national park and stop at many points of interest, such as Princess of Hope, an incredible rock formation on a mountain range. The entire landscape of the park is dotted with these strange and incredible twists of nature. Sometimes you won’t help thinking the site reminds you of the Grand Canyon. Other stops include the Lion of Balochistan, which looks like a sphinx, the Hinglaj Temple, a hindu temple in a cave. We’ll also visit the mud volcano and the oases.
Tonight we’ll sleep at a chalet at Kund Malir Beach which is known for its crystal clear water. We’ll have another dinner at the camp near the campfire, the ideal setup for star gazing and storytelling. On our second day we’ll slowly continue our way back to Karachi after breakfast and we should be arriving somewhere around noon.
Please, bring enough clothes, plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, mosquito repellent, towels, swimming clothes and anything else you think you might need.
