During this trip, tourists can spend time on the largest national park in Pakistan, Hingol National Park, which is spread over a vast area of 1,650 square kilometers. Hingol National Park also has a river which consists of hundreds of fishes and other sea creatures.
Mud Volcano:
At Hingol National Park you can experience beautiful rock formation, Hingol Mud Volcano, Princess of Hope, fishes and other species as well which is also a great source of attraction.
These all are major attractions in the area. The mud volcano is considered the biggest mud volcano in the world which makes it a great attraction for visitors.
Princess of Hope & Sphinx:
Princess of Hope and the Sphinx in the Hingol Natural Park amuses visitors because of their natural formation.
Many believe they are ruins of a temple or a place of worship which increases attraction for the place.
Nani Mandir:
Higlaj Mata Nani Mandir is a Hindu Temple which is located just 10km away from Kund Malir Beach and is an excellent place for tourists.
You can experience the culture and traditions of Hindus there with sculptures, caves and many other attractions.
Each year thousands of Hindu pilgrimages not only from Lasbela but all around Balochistan and Sindh visit this temple. During the pilgrimage this place becomes a good cultural spot for tourists.
Security Arrangements:
The biggest question which arises in the minds of people while thinking about the visit of Kund Malir is the security situation of the area. But don’t worry about security, the army and security forces have good arrangements for the tourists according to the people who have visited the area.
Almost every few kilometers there are checkpoints of army, navy or coast guards which boosts the moral of the visitors assuring them their safety.
To conclude there are many check posts where security forces check all the travelers and make sure that nothing could happen to any of the traveler or tourist.
Restaurants and Hotels:
There was a lack of facilities of hotels and restaurants in the area. But in recent years few hotels, resorts and huts have appeared on the spot including few state-of-the-art restaurants.
If you want to stay there you will get some decent guest house or rest house at reasonable prices but booking a room in advance is preferable. The charges are still affordable as the numbers of visitors are still limited.
Lack of facilities was one of the reasons that families avoided planning holidays in Kund Malir or Hingol National Park which is now changing.
[junkie-alert style=”green”] Scuba diving is also not available in Kund Malir, which should be available to increase the attraction of this amazing place. Similarly boat rides and other modern attractions are required to make it a state of the art tourist spot. [/junkie-alert]
Tour operators usually arrange their own food but families or people who travel on their own are not usually satisfied with the quality of food. This may be the reason why most travel agencies carry all the food either from Karachi or purchase in Winder, a small city on Makran coastal highway.
Weather Forecast:
The weather condition on the beach is usually good except some months during summer. As the weather condition is not so different as compared to Karachi weather people feel comfortable but make sure that you don’t visit the beach when the weather is too hot.
But the temperature is mostly hot there as in the summer months the weather lies between 30°C to 35°C, while in winter the nights are quite cold. That’s why most travel operators prefer night trips in summer while day trips during winter.
