Following are images from Khirthar mountains and surrounding areas in Sindh, Pakistan.
Recently, the Sujag Sansar team arranged a visit to Kachho and departed with the cavalcade of vehicles from Johi District Dadu. It is situated about 50 Kilometers away from Dadu District in Sindh.
The drive from Johi to Wahi was 28 km-long with mustard plants greeting us from each side of the road; waving yellow heads, swaying with the wind.
Our unseen destination was a wetland situated 8 km at the west of Wahi.
Kaccho was a beautiful place with herdsmen wandering around with their cattle of goats, camels and buffaloes, surrounded by fertile cultivated lands.
The gypsies too have erected their tents on the sides of the roads. The lives of the gypsies is rather unique; they descend from mountainous areas to the plains of Kachho along with their herds of sheep and goats to graze on abundant natural and cultivated grass.
In the south of Pat Suleman stands a historical cemetery.
On the north side of the road, five or six imposing monuments can be seen, which go by the name of‘butta quba’ (without minarets or twin monuments).
At a distance ahead is another historical graveyard called Bakhar Shaheed.
The mesmerizing environment and natural beauty took away from the preoccupation of day to day drudgery business for a while and provided a break from all the worldly matters.
Protection of this enviroment can ensue tremendous economic activity and create hundreds of jobs for the locals.

Though this trip was short lived, the impression left by the sceneries was a lasting one.
