Kund Malir is a beach in Balochistan, Pakistan located in Hingol National Park. It is located about 150 kilometres (93 mi) from Zero-Point on Makran Coastal Highway.[1] Hingol National Park is the largest national park in Pakistan. It is located 236.8 kilometres (147.1 mi) west of Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan.[2][3] The drive between Kund Malir and Ormara is known for being scenic, and traverses a rural part of the country. There are estimated to be 11 active mud volcanoes in Kund Malir.

After passing Zero Point, there are no food or fuel facilities available on the route. Kund Malir is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in this world.[4] Due to increase in tourism, some of the mobile networks, including Ufone, have established service to provide coverage in this rural region. Several tour companies have expanded their services to help people access and explore this region. Kund Malir is a popular weekend picnic and daytrip destination for people from Karachi and interior Sindh. The location is unique and has panoramic views of mountains, sea and desert.
