Bazman is also known as Kuh-i-Zindeh (Mountain of the Living One), after a saint, Khizr-as-Sallam. Yet another name is Kuh-i-Naushada, although they are sometimes considered to be separate mountains. The mountain was climbed in 1896 by Percy Sykes and Brazier Creagh; by 1906 its volcanic nature was known to geologists. It is located away from the Arabian Sea, and north-northwest of Bampur.
