It’s not every day that you find places in the wilderness that help you make peace with your existence. It is this very yearning for internal calm which makes people pack their bags and hit the road.

Gorakh Hill is a Hill Station of Sindh, Pakistan, located at an elevation of 6000 Ft. Gorakh Hill is a developing hill station 93-Km away in the north west of Dadu District along with (Khuzdar) Baluchistan border. It is the highest point of Kirthar Mountain Range and a unique adventure point for nature lovers. Gorakh is a gateway for local villagers of Khuzdar Baluchistan, who travel for purchasing food and other life utilities from Wahipandi, a small town at the foot of the mountain range.

The word “Gorakh” literally means “wild”. It is believed that the name was given by a prominent Yogi known as Gorakhnath from the 11th century.The region is barren, with minimal agricultural activities and only native plants in sight. That said, Gorakh has been the epicenter of a great deal of tourism in recent years. Largely, for being the only place in Sindh to receive snowfall in the winters.
