It is 94 km (59 miles) from Ziarat to Loralai on a poorly surfaced road. You pass through attractive little villages surrounded by compact orchards the purple and black mountains looming behind. It is known for its good almonds and pomegranates .The drive from Quetta to I Loralai takes about five hours.

Fort Munro

From Loralai to Fort Munro at the foot of the Sulaiman mountain range is 200 kms (124 miles) of partially surfaced road. It is called the Robber Road. It is barren and rubble-strewn but dramatically beautiful because of the fantastic contours formed by erosion. Fort Munro is just beyond the Punjab border. The term 'fort' seems somewhat exaggerated since the town looks more like a peaceful hill resort with gardens and orchards rather than a military outpost. The town was founded by Sir Robert Sandeman and named after Colonel Munro who was commissioner of the Derajat Division.
