Introduction
Sukkur, the third largest city in Sindh, is a treasure trove of Pakistan, and we're going to explore it in just three days. Within this journey, we'll discover the rich heritage, taste mouthwatering local cuisine, and admire the stunning natural beauty that the city is known for.
Day 1 - Beginning in Brilliance
We kick-start our day in Sukkur with the mesmerizing beauty of the Indus River. Feel the soothing river breeze as we walk down the riverfront showcasing the city's everyday life. Our next stop is the iconic Lansdowne Bridge, a masterpiece of engineering from the British era. How about a bite of local street food there? Pakora and samosa, anyone? Then, it's off to Sukkur Barrage, an impressive British-built dam located on the Indus River. Lasting the day, we'll head to the nearby Sadh Belo Island, a tranquil spiritual abode where peace and nature coexist. Remember to respect the sanctity of the temple while enjoying your visit!
Day 2 - Relishing the Riches
Starting Day 2, we'll dive deep into the cultural richness of Sukkur by visiting the historical Masoom Shah Jo Minaro. This centuries-old minaret is not just a historical site, but also offers a panoramic view of the city from its top. What a way to start the day, right? Next, we're heading to the Ghanta Ghar Market, a bustling traditional market where you can shop for exotic spices, colorful fabrics, and handcrafted jewelry. Your shopping spree would be incomplete without trying the delicious Sindhi biryani at a local eatery. Wrapping up the day, we'll visit the Shrine of Syed Sadar-ud-Din Shah, leaving us in awe of its architectural beauty and serene atmosphere.
Day 3 - Embracing the End
The final day takes us outside the city to the incredible Aror Rock, a historical site believed to be the ancient city of Alor or Aror destroyed by a major earthquake during the 9th Century. After soaking up the site's breathtaking beauty and historical significance, we'll head to the charming village of Lab-e-Mehran, perfect for a restful afternoon. As we end our journey with a visit to Rani Bagh, a beautifully maintained park that houses a small zoo, botanical garden, and a large area for leisure activities. How about a final round of a local cup of chai overlooking the verdant beauty? Sounds like a perfect goodbye to Sukkur, doesn't it?
