Sindh Province of Pakistan

Sindh is the southernmost province of Pakistan. It is approximately 579 kilometres long and 140,915 square kilometres in size (54,408 square miles). Sindh is bounded to the North by the Thar Desert, to the West by the Kirthar Mountains and to the South by the Arabian Sea. In the centre, a fertile plain runs along the Indus River.

Sindh was submerged under water millions of years ago. The Kirthar mountain range, which still contains fossils of fish, sea urchins, and marine life, is clear evidence of this phenomenon. One of the world’s largest mammoth fossils discovered in the Kirthar is a relic from the ice age, when the entire planet was covered in snow.

The country’s largest National Park is 160 kilometres from Karachi. It has an area of 1192 square miles. Nearly 11,000 spices, including Sindh ibex, gazelles, and wild sheep, live in this park. In winter, the Indus delta is a birdwatcher’s paradise. More than 200,000 migratory birds travel from Siberia and other countries to spend the winter in Pakistan’s golden sunshine. The lakes attract millions of migratory waterfowl. Karachi today is claimed to be the ‘love-bird capital of the world’. The only surviving reservoir of blind dolphins is the Indus River in Sindh. Sindh is home to over a hundred lakes.

In Karachi, historic graves of ancient carriers who braved the rigours of the sea to carry the faraway lands were discovered. Pakistan has one of the oldest export cultures in the world. Mohenjo Daro, the oldest site, contains vital information about trade and export from four to five thousand years ago. According to recent research, the seals, as well as the cotton bale consignments, were trademarks of the companies that exported them. Similar seals have been discovered in Bahrain, demonstrating Sindh’s long history of thriving export trade with many countries in the region and around the world. Sindh’s ports exported cotton, corals, spices, and condiments. Cotton, rice, and wheat are among the crops grown on the vast farmlands.

Sindh attracts refugees, Sufi Saints, and Noble armies from all over the world. It is Akbar the Great’s birthplace. Karachi’s seaport is both natural and busy. The Arabian Sea coastline provides fantastic opportunities for water sports, and sunny beaches welcome you all year.

The Sindh River sustains people, culture, history, and heritage. Sindh is well-known for its distinctive rituals, events, sports, cuisine, and music. It has all of life’s tastes that words cannot fully describe. A trip to this land can bring you joy and happiness.
