From the road out of Dadu, the land lifts into the Kirthar Mountains and the air cools. The plateau at the top is one of the highest points in Sindh, and the view back across the plains is the reason people make the drive.
Dadu suits travellers who are already in northern Sindh and want a base for the hills rather than a city of sights. This guide covers what is worth your time in and around the town, and how to spend a single day.
Top things to do in Dadu
1. Gorakh Hill
Gorakh Hill is an under-development hill station on one of the highest plateaus of Sindh, at an elevation of 5,688 ft in the Kirthar Mountains Range. It sits 94 km north west of Dadu city. The surroundings make it a unique adventure point for nature lovers.
Because it is still under development, treat the visit as an adventure rather than a resort stop: bring what you need for the day and plan your travel around the drive from Dadu.
