Surab

Surab lies southwest of Kalat in the highlands of central Baluchistan. Roads meet here: one runs between Kalat, Wadh and Bela, while another crosses the Kalghali pass towards the valleys of Panjgur. The dry hills of Jhalawan contain many old stone dams known as gabrbands, found from the Surab country south towards the Hab valley and west towards Mashkai. Archaeological sites around Surab also preserve evidence of prehistoric settlement along this route through the mountains.
