Sobre este Trap
Quetta winters are cold, and in January 2026 gas supply was cut from midnight to 5 am with low pressure at other hours, while nights fell below freezing. Pipeline heaters can therefore fail when you need them most. Before booking December to February, ask the hotel in writing whether it has electric heaters, a generator or gas cylinders. Pack warm layers and a hat for sleeping, and favour rooms with a back-up heat source.
