Chiltan Tehsil, also Chiltan Town, (Pashto: چلتن تحصیل, Urdu: چلتن تحصیل) is an administrative subdivision (tehsil) of Quetta District, located in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is one of the two main tehsils that make up the Quetta District, the other being Zarghoon Tehsil.[2]
Chiltan Tehsil is named after the **Chiltan** mountain range, which includes the famous Koh-i-Chiltan peak. The tehsil covers the southwestern and western portions of the Quetta Valley. It is home to the Hazarganji Chiltan National Park, a protected area established to preserve the Chiltan ibex.[3]
