Pakistan is blessed with endless beauty, containing several hot spots for tourists in its northern areas. The recent development in the tourism sector, however, has led to a boost in tourism in the southern parts of the country as well, with most travellers from Karachi heading either to Balochistan and its coastal strip<\/a> or towards interior Sindh. One hub of tourism in Sindh, along the Kirthar Mountain Range, is Gorakh Hill Station, which is also being called the \u2018Murree of Sindh\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering mesmerising views and gorgeous sunsets, Gorakh Hill Station lies at an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet above sea level, at a distance of 94 kilometres from Dadu. Let\u2019s learn more about this scenic tourist destination in Sindh before we move on to our travel guide for Gorakh Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First discovered in the 1860s during the British Raj, Gorakh Hill was actually developed and launched as a hill station in 1989. However, with slow development in the area, this tourist destination in Sindh remained hidden from the eyes of both domestic and international travellers. Once the route from the closest settlement of Wahi Pandhi was completed in 2007, the hill station became much more accessible to the average traveller, resulting in its gradual popularity over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Gorakh Hill Station has access to electricity as well as water, with barely passable roads and almost no cell connectivity. But what keeps people hooked to this spot are the amazing panoramic views you can get if you dare to hike to the top. A restaurant, campsite, as well as a motel, are also facilitating travellers to the area now, with plans to develop and pave the route to the hill station in coming years to make it easier to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
