This Islamic graveyard consist of around 1,500 tombs, though only about 500-600 are still intact. Most of them broken however, the ones still standing are an impressive site and a great place to visit when traveling to Karachi. The Chaukhandi tombs burial site is on the Tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage sites and is open to the public. Visitors are welcome to walk around the tombs and get a close look at the elaborately decorated yellow sandstone slabs that are stacked on top of each other forming small pyramids. The male tombs and female tombs can easily be identified as male tombs represent carvings of horsemen, arms, swords, bow and arrow and the female tombs show jewelry, necklaces.
Bhambore
Visit Bhambore Ruins and Bhambore Museum, entrance included. The ruins of Bhambore are known for their link to the world of romance and mystery. If you love ancient ruins and enjoy exploring hidden gems, you must visit Bhambore – an abandoned city located 65 km east of Karachi. Once the capital of Bhambo Raja in the 10th century, this fascinating city was a major crossroad on the ancient trade route to China and the Middle East. Unfortunately, it was destroyed around 1250 CE and is now known only through the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. If you’re interested in history and folklore, visit Sassui’s grave at ‘Sassui waro chodo,’ only 14 miles from Karachi on the road leading to Kech Makran. The ruins of Bhambore and Bhambore Museum are located in the district of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The city was founded by the Sumerians in the late 4th millennium BC and was later ruled by the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander’s successors, and the Parthian Empire.

Wonderful Tour through the History of Sindh

5.00This time in Karachi, I and my wife wanted to see the amazing historical sites near the city. I had seen all of them as a sightseeing visitor but without guides, so this time we decided to book a guided tour. Based on our excellent experience all over the world, we checked out tours through Viator and were pleasantly surprised to find many good options. Ultimately, we booked this tour provided by GOVAC Travels. It was a small group (4 or fewer) tour, but in the event, it was just the two of us, our guide Mr. Zehan Tahir, and our driver, Mr. Baqar. They offered to pick us up from where we were staying in Sea View at 7:30 AM, and, in spite of some early morning fog, were able to do so by 7:45. It was a comfortable car, and we visited Chawkandi, Bhanbhore, Makli, and the great mosque in Thatta. The tour was very well-organized with knowledgeable local guides at every site. Even as a veteran of prior visits, I learned several new things. The tour included a nice lunch at the famous Cafe Imran. After the tour, they offered to drop us at home, which was extremely convenient. The whole experience was wonderful. The sites are fascinating. The graves of Chawkandi and the tombs of Makli are incredible in their intricate beauty snd elegance; the Shahjahani Mosque in Thatta is without question one of the most architecturally beautiful Mughal buildings in the Sub-Continent; and the ruins of Bhambhore echo with the ghosts of history and the legend of the tragic love story of Sassi and Punnu. The guide and the driver were both very professional and thoughtful. They accommodated my desire to linger to take more photographs while politely keeping us on track. My wife, who had only been to Chawkandi before, had a similarly positive opinion. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to explore these sites. They also provide city tours in Karachi and in other parts of the country.

5.00This tour was really a beautiful experience. The guide and the driver were very professional and kind. They picked me up on time and made me feel safe and comfortable all day. The places we visited are impressive and definitely worth visiting, offering glimpses into different historical periods and the richness of the local cultural heritage. The Chaukhandi tombs, Makli and Shah Jahan Mosque are really mesmerizing! And Bhambhore is next to a lake with lovely birds. It is also a great opportunity to know Karachi's surroundings and spend time out of the intense city life, while watching the colourful trucks in the highways. The local food was delicious and the guide even joined me to buy some souvenirs, bargaining with the shop owner to guarantee the best price. I definitely recommend this!!
