Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This cultural expedition offers a deep immersion into the living heritage, temples, traditional markets, and community life of the Hindu minority across South Punjab and Upper Sindh in Pakistan. When exploring these historic regions, observe local customs, dress respectfully in local attire (such as salwar kameez), and engage warmly with community elders. Public transport between regional hubs like Rahim Yar Khan, Liaqatpur, Daharki, and Multan is accessible via local buses and rickshaws, but hiring a knowledgeable local driver is recommended for visiting remote rural settlements.
