Espakeh

Espakeh lies in the mountainous Lashar country of western Baluchistan, between the Bampur basin and the Makran coast. The settlement has an old fort, one of the fortified sites that marked this rugged inland landscape. The surrounding mountains divide the arid country into valleys and basins, while routes through them connect settlements of the interior with the coast. Medieval geographers described Makran as a sparsely populated region with few resources, though its valleys supported cultivated land where water was available.
