Small seasonal streams
About
In Balochistan's expansive desertscape lies a transient spectacle – seasonal hilltorrents that punctuate the arid landscape primarily during July, August, and September monsoons. These ephemerally flowing streams are best explored with 4x4 vehicles due to their remote locations within Barkhan District. These waterways carve rugged pathways through rocky terrain before subsiding as dry riverbeds when the rains cease in October.
Tips
Barkhan becomes remarkably green during the monsoon; however, always check local weather as these small streams can turn into torrents very quickly.
