Urak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urak is a valley surrounded by mountains in the province of Balochistan in Pakistan. It is located near Hana Lake, and 21 kilometres from Quetta city.^[1]

Urak has a population of 10,000 and about 90% are Pashtun. This valley is used for growing apple trees of good quality. It has a small waterfall in the end from where the Wali Tangi valley begins.

The Pashtun owners of the apple garden are very strict about the plucking of apples from the trees; the tourists may view and purchase the apples but may not pluck them from the trees, in case they may fine the tourists more than Rs.500.^{[citation needed]}
