Urak is a valley surrounded by mountains in the province of Balochistan in Pakistan. It is located near Hana Lake, and about 25 kilometers from Quetta city.

Urak has a population of 10,000 and about 90% are the pushton. This valley is used for growing apple trees of good quality. It has a small waterfall in the end from where the Wali Tangi valley begins.

The pushton owners of the apple garden are very strict about the plucking of apples from the trees; the tourists may view and purchase the apples but may not pluck them from the trees, in case they may fine the tourists more than Rs.500.

Urak is also the name of the world in the Sierra video game Lords of Magic.
