The unexplored beauty of the Astola Island

Pakistan has always been known for its northern peaks and green valleys but very few in the world have discovered the coastal beauty of Pakistan.
Located in the province of Baluchistan this eye-catching coastal line remained unexplored by the locals until a British tourist 'Tracy Curtin' expressed her views on it's hypnotizing beauty.


This Island is also commonly known as the 'Island of seven hills' because of the rocky hills surrounding it.


It is located near the port Pasni. The crystal clear water is just too alluring not to jump in specially when it is surrounded by shale rocks. The island remains isolated due to it's distant location however the recent researches and visits to the island unveil many new facts about it.


The soft sand makes the hills difficult to climb, this is  due to the moisture present in the the sand.However tourists continue to climb it due to the breath-taking look from the very top.


The Island it self is a home to numerous seagulls and sea turtles which can be easily be spotted on the water waves.


Having a boat ride, you may find abundant jazzy fish that are not only eye catching but if you happen to be a non-veg, they are mouth watering.



Speaking of natural beauty this beautiful coastal area has nearly all type of natural topography including some famously known natural caves and mounts.



This mesmerizing look is from the seven hills that surround the island. 
tourists have been reporting this as the most beautiful sunset of their life!
