Chagai

Chagai lies in the arid northwestern reaches of Baluchistan, amid plains and low hills near the Lora Hamun. The Chagai Hills separate the great desert basins of Sistan and Kharan, while sandy tracts stretch across the intervening country. Rainfall is scarce and temporary watercourses lead towards inland depressions rather than the sea. The name Chagai comes from a village on the western edge of the Lora Hamun, a landmark in this sparsely settled landscape of desert and mountain.
