Trip to Chittori - Ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs - Libra

[Libra]

Chitorri, historic ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs of Mirpurkhas, Sindh. located at about 20 kilometers from the city.
Sandstone tombs were built in 17th and 18th century by Talpur rulers.

6th August, 2012
We(non Pakwheeler friend) left Karachi around 2am Monday morning, did our Sehri in Gulistan-e-Johur, I drop my friend at his village Jam Goth and then went to see Chitorri. It was hot, stayed there for just 20 minutes only...



The distance via Tando Adam - Jam Goth - Sindhri is about 300kms and if you go via Hyderabad - MirpurKhas it should be about 50kms less.
