Rahim Yar Khan Things to Do

DESERT SAFAR

The most interested activity which one can take in Rahim Yar Khan is desert safari. However no one is operating, but one can explore the desert himself (selfguided). Every year notables from the royal family of United Arab Emirates also come to explore the Cholistan desert. One can go for hunting (after permission) as we have lots of wildlife. Wild cats, the Chinkara deer, a variety of pigs, jackals, foxes, badgers, porcupines, squirrels, gerbils, wild rats, mongeese, poisonous snakes, hog deer, blue bulls, ravine deer, sand grouse, wild lizards, wild egrets are among many other creatures are found in the district. Farmstay is also possible if anyone is interested in visiting Rahim Yar Khan, just need to let me know, and I can arrange it at both side with local villager families in arid Cholistan desert side south of city (Paka) or also in rather greener irrigated areas in north (Kacha). laterly the district is devided into 3 vicinities by common men as Kacha, Paka and urban.

BHONG MOSQUE

Mosque is located some 40 km from city, easily accessible by road, it is also one of the place to see in Rahim Yar Khan. it stands among the most beautiful mosques in the world.

PATTAN MINARA (LIGHT HOUSE)

An ancient tower (light house) at the bank of river Hakra or Ghagra, once running. It is almost 10 km from city. However rest of the remnants of the building are long gone but this tower is still existing and also one of a place to be visited in Rahim Yar Khan.

MAUSOLEUMS

Many saints are buried in district and being visited for centuries by pilgrims. There tombs have got some traditional architecture that is why I consider them also one of the places to be visited.

above are few the important places but the most interesting thing to do is meeting locals, Cholistanis, and we have got some families from Marwari community.
