Barshore

Barshore, (Pashto: برښور), (Urdu: برشور), is a tehsil (sub-divisions) of Karezat District in Balochistan, Pakistan.

[2] Covering an area of over 1,700 square kilometres, tehsil Barshore is predominantly mountainous, with long, narrow valleys intersecting the terrain.

At the northern end of the Tehsil, the great plateau of Toba Kakar Range drains northward to the Kadanai river in Afghanistan.

The most popular theory suggests that it originated in the early 13th century when the town, once densely populated, was completely abandoned due to drought and severe famine.

The original name, Baar-shaar (Pashto بار ښار), meaning "once abandoned town," gradually evolved over time into its current form, Barshore.
