1 min read

The Hingol National Park in Pakistan is the largest
National Park of the country. It is situated at the Makran
Coast in the province of Baluchistan. It covers an area of
619,043 hectares and is spread over three districts
namely Lasbela, Gawadar and Owaran. It was declared
a shelter for various species of wildlife in 1988. The park
is unique in the sense that it provides refuge to land as
well as marine creatures. The topography of the park
varies from coast lines, beaches, sand dunes, barren
mountains and a river. The area is mostly semi desert.
A large number of animals exist in this rocky and marshy
area some of whom are close to extinction. The estuary
of the Hingol River is the home to many species of fish. Marsh crocodiles are also found here. These are few in
number only around 50. Olive Ridley Turtles and Green
Marine Turtles are occasionally seen here. The river is a resting place of many migratory water fowls such as Dalmatian and Spot billed Pelican, Sociable Plover, Spoonbills, and Black Ibis etc.
