Marsh crocs at Hot sulphur springs, Karachi

Via Flickr:
Danger lurks around every corner of the frame: Nile delta marsh crocodiles pop their heads out of the hot sulphur spring found at the Shrine of Sufi Saint, Hazrat Pir Haji Sakhi Sultan (RA). This surely is one of the most fascinating places in the country and surely the oldest Sufi Shrine in Karachi.

For detailed reading of this interesting subject, you must read the following article / blog:

Punj Tan ka Bagh, Sehwan Sharif

That night I slept like a king - or someone who almost passed away! This is a place to be, if you wish to see a Pakistan mired in all sorts of traditions, religions and iconography. It is a place which offers fresh water to drink, some miracles, an open air sleep free of cost, and education in Rural area Shia religious themes and myths. I love this place.
