Gondrani



Gondrani.

 Unique place in Balochistan where traces of ancient cave civilizations exist!

 It is popular with the name of Shehr-e-Roghan. This place is indeed a real archaeological treasure which is unfortunately hidden from the world. There is no exact information that who constructed these mysterious cave dwellings but one thing is for sure that this place is extremely fabulous.

 Some historians relate Shehr-e-Roghan with the Buddists of 7th century AD. Shehr-e-Roghan of Gondrani is located at 18 KM north west of Bela which was previously known as Lasbela.

 Now what is so unique about Shehr-e-Roghan of Bela ? This marvelous ancient cave city is spread over an area of 2-3 KM. Thousands of these cave houses are multi storey and are inter connected with each other through walkways. Almost every cave house consists of a single room and some of them have a veranda in front of them. Many myths are attributed to this mysterious place.

Some locals believe Shehr-e-Roghan to be the city of jins. Some people also link this place with the thousands years old legend of Saiful Malook and Badiul Jamal.
