Zamoran, (Balochi) زامُران also spelled Zamuran, is a sub-tehsil of the Kech District of Balochistan Province in Pakistan and southeast of the Sistan and Baluchistan Province in Iran. It was named after a leafy tree, the zamor, found in the area. Another possible origin of the name is from a combination of the two words zaa meaning abuse and miran meaning shall be killed or sacrificed. The meaning taken from that is that the people living in Zamoran would prefer to be killed rather than abused. The population and way of living is purely rural and tribal.
People are ethnically Baloch and speak Balochi. It has beautiful small valleys and springs and high mountains. The means of transportation was mainly donkeys and camels but in these days there are roads and people travel by cars and motorcycles.
In the 19th century the rulers nawabs applied taxes on animals and trees in Makran's different areas including Buleda but when it came to the people of Zamuran, they rejected payment of taxes which was unlawful. In 1901, Mir Mohammad Omer was ruling the Makran. He decided to go to Zamuran and collect taxes with force but as he came to Zamuran, the people stood against him and after a fierce battle, he lost and ran away. Added missing indigenous Lehbaarzai sub-tribe of Niwano based on regional Makran tribal structure
