The Chaukhandi tombs date back to the Mughal era and most of tombs here are from between the 15th and the 18th century of the Jokhio Tribe and warriors of the Saloch families, Sindhi tribes. 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.
Makli Necropolis
Near the apex of the delta of the Indus River in Pakistan’s southern province of Sindh is an enormous cemetery possessing half a million tombs and graves in an area of about 10 km2. Massed at the edge of the 6.5 km-long plateau of Makli Hill, the necropolis of Makli – which was associated with the nearby city of Thatta, once a capital and centre of Islamic culture – testifies in an outstanding manner to the civilization of the Sindh from the 14th to the 18th centuries. The vast necropolis of Makli is among the largest in the world.
