At first our plan was to go to Hingol and explore the area, and to stay 2 nights, leaving early Saturday morning and coming back Monday evening. On Thursday got a call from Fahad saying that he can't go on Saturday because of the exams, called Shahab and asked him if he can take a leave on Tuesday and he said it would be difficult. Since going to Hingol for 1 night was not practical, we decided to go and see Shirin Farhad and camp at Caves City.
I contacted Annas, asked him to come with us and make a video of this trip. He, Parmesh and Sadiq joined us with their equipment. Thanks you very much guys.
Our meeting point was Fahad's place, we left Karachi around 9:30am. Dr. Yaqoob joined us from Bela with his 2 friends.
It was a bit warm at daytime but the night was excellent.
First we went to Caves City, Shahab had bought Homemade Keema for lunch. Thanks Shahab Bhai Keema was Zabardast.
After Lunch we went to see the Caves. About spending 2 hour at the caves we came back at a nice spot near the river to setup the camp.
After setting up our camp we started making dinner, Dr. Yaqoob arranged our dinner. Thank you very much Yaqoob Bhai .
After dinner and tea few went in to relax mode, and few did Star Gazing. The weather was excellent no pollution, zero dust, clears sky.
Next morning, after breakfast we packed our bags and went to see the Tomb of Shirin Farhad, Stayed there for about 30 mins and headed back towards Karachi, stopped for lunch in Winder and then Home Sweet Home.
