Short note Or Summary on
My Travel Diary: Journey To The Gorakh Hill Station

The author's parents plan to celebrate his birthday at Gorakh Hills, Sindh's highest summit and holiday resort. They start their journey by bus early in the morning with other tourists. The guide tells them the details of the journey and the route. When they cross Jamshoro, they see the Indus River. The city of Hyderabad is located across the river. At Kotri Barrage, they stop at a hotel for breakfast.
They reach Sehwan while traveling on the Indus Highway. There they pay a short visit to the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, a highly revered Sufi saint. On leaving Sehwan, they are given a lunch of fish caught from Manchar Lake along with sugarcane juice.
At the foot of the Gorakh Hills, they have to travel in a jeep to reach the top. At the top they enjoy beautiful views. Unfortunately they do not get a room in the hotel so they rent tents. At night a bonfire is lit and everyone sits around playing childish games.
The author gets up early in the morning and enjoys the scenery. The author's parents and friends carry a cake and sing "Happy Birthday" to the author. The cake cutting was followed by halwa purl for all.
On the way back they travel from Dadu Moro Bridge. They stop at Hala to collect souvenirs. They pass near Bhitt Shah where the shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhattai is located and they cross through the city of Hyderabad and reach the Motorway on which we had travelled the day before from Karachi.
