Baluchistan is underrated by most of the travelers but the province has its own unique beauty in form of mountain ranges, coastal belt and the landscapes. Kharrari is an off destination located near Uthal and exactly 155 Km from Karachi involving some 20 Km off road on a pretty challenging terrain through the river beds.
We left Karachi quiet late so the journey towards Kharrari was covered in dark. We reached Uthal at 2:30 am after having dinner on the way and then the real test of driving skills started through pitch black darkness.
It took almost an hour from Uthal to reach a spot where we all gave up and decided to stay and wait for the sunrise before reaching Kharrari as we were unable to track the route.
The bug of photography was biting hard and tripods came out to capture the milky way. The hazy winter didn't allowed a crisp shot but luckily got it somehow as first Milky way of 2020.
Steel wool was next at the same spot as we still have 30 minutes to pass.
And then the light craked the sky and we got stuffed in the jeeps again and as soon as we moved few meters the scene made everybody laughed, why? because the point where the stop was made was hardly 50 meters from the Kharrari river.
Kharrari was actually love at first sight and the best part about it was there were no footprints, no trash and no one around us. Purely organic land it was.
No fancy arrangements were made and BBQ Grill was used to make take tea with slices for the Breakfast but still it felt like a luxury.
The tea gave us energy to lift the cameras again and almost everybody started clicking desired shots.
And finally 9 frames panorama of the spot.
