PASNI is located along the Makran coast on the Arabian Sea about 450km from Karachi. It is a small fishing port in Gwadar district. This small city has an interesting and twisted history. The city was named Karzanabad after Lord Curzon who stayed here for a while. It was much laterthat the city was renamed Pasni.
The city was used as a gateway to enter India by none other than Alexander. And due to its impressive fishing port, the city was once a target of many nations, including the Portuguese, who burnt down the entire city and looted its inhabitants in the 16th century. Some graves can be seen near the Deaghan area of Kalmati soldiers who sacrificed their lives while fighting against the invaders.
