Pishin
Skip Pishin unless you are passing through Quetta; a half‑day stop to see the orchards and Bund Khushdil Khan lake.
Pishin is a small Balochistan town 50 km from Quetta, known for fruit orchards irrigated by karez and the nearby Bund Khushdil Khan lake. Facilities are limited, so most travellers treat it as a brief stopover.
