Jhatpat

Jhatpat lies in the low country between the Kachhi plain and upper Sindh. Its fields belong to a landscape watered by channels and seasonal floods, with the mountains of Balochistan rising to the west. The region’s history was closely connected to Sindh and to the khans of Kalat, who gained the Kachhi country in the eighteenth century. Baloch communities and cultivators occupied the plain between these neighbouring centres of power.
