Peer Ghaib Waterfall Tour Guide|| the unexplored beauty of Balochistan | Waterfalls of Pakistan | the beauty of Balochistan

 Peer Ghaib is located  in the Bolan Valley, It is  about 70 kilometres eastwards from the provincial capital Quetta , Peer Ghaib is a scenic beauty  peculiarly grand and sublime. The Peer Ghaib which earns its name from an ancient folklore, is the latest darling of local tourism, along with various other destinations tucked away in remote and pristine corners of Balochistan .

The journey from Quetta to Bolan Valley , which is something over 2 hours by road, takes some 45 minutes to transition from bustling city life to reposeful terrains which dominate the vast emptiness of the province.

According to a local Bangulzai tribesman, whose people own the picturesque area of Pir Ghaib, there is more to his ancestral land than what meets the eye. Per his account, the region once served as trial ground for the sinful, in a fashion hauntingly similar to the witch trials of Saleem. “The accused would be thrown into the stream. The guilty would drown while the innocent would survive. It was like the water was the judge, the jury and the executioner,” the tribeman narrated.

The paradise reveals itself after a long but straight sailing journey, thanks to the well-built network of roads linking Quetta and Bolan district.

At the valley’s heart, a burbling river travels along its bed; coursing through nooks and crannies before cascading down a craggy mountainside, and feeding into the many palm tree-line ponds that populate the region. To many, this panoramic beauty is a reflection of heaven on earth, which is slowly catching the world’s eye.

Cognizant of the tourism industry’s potential, the incumbent provincial government has taken various steps for the promotion of tourism in Balochistan. One such endeavor was the recent beautification of Pir Ghaib, which also saw a formal inauguration by the provincial chief minister in December of last year.

Owing to the collaborative work of the Frontier Corps (FC) and the government, the tourist destination now boasts various attractions including a zip line, a food point, a walking track, a water slide, a mosque and several green-corners by its waterfalls.



The development has resultantly led to an influx of local tourists, especially in the summer months, many of whom flock the paradise looking for a break from the bustling city life. Yet, the place has also become popular with throngs of religious tourists, who come to pay their respects at the now renovated shrine of Pir Ghaib’s patron saint.

Local Hindus of Balochistan worship Peer Ghaib as Har Har Mahadev. But, long before the Bolan gorge had rung with Vedic hymns or invocations of the Peer Ghaib, travellers and traders from the Indus Valley would have stopped at this spring sacred to their own gods on the first leg of their long journey to Mesopotamian marts. As the Vedic God Shiva derives from an earlier Indus Valley deity, and as the 5000 years old goddess Nania evolves into Bibi Nani or Durga, so too did the Peer Ghaib develop from an early Indus Valley god. But until the Indus script is understood we will not know which from this pantheon was celebrated for walking into rock walls.

Peer Ghaib waterfall is a center of attraction for tourists because of its scenic landscape and peaceful atmosphere. The lush and wonder green grazing lands around and the streams with clear water enhance the beauty of the majestic and amazing waterfall . Some of the hotels near the waterfall are SAARC Hotel and Peer Ghaib. The waterfall is amazingly beautiful so do not miss it and plan your trip soon.
