The small town is located in southwestern Pakistan, in Balochistan, in a valley at almost 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) above sea level and at 27 degrees north latitude.

The rare rains occur in winter and spring, brought by the depressions of the Persian Gulf, or in summer, even though they are very rare because we are in the part of Pakistan where the Indian monsoon practically does not arrive.
