Karachi se jab safar shuru hota hai to kuch hi der mein shehar ki bheer, traffic aur buildings peeche rehne lagti hain. Samne khula aasman, pathreelay pahar aur lambi khamosh sadak nazar aati hai. Isi tabdeeli ke darmiyan Kirthar National Park ka safar ek aisa tajurba ban jata hai jahan adventure, wildlife aur qudrati manazir aik hi trip mein mil jate hain. Kirthar 3,087 square kilometer ke qareeb wasee protected area hai aur 1974 mein national park ka darja diya gaya tha. Pakistan ke national parks ki purani official maloomat aur World Database on Protected Areas ke record mein bhi iska area isi qareeb diya gaya hai.
Karachi se is taraf aane wale musafiron ke liye sab se dilchasp baat ye hai ke shehar se zyada door nikle baghair Sindh ka bilkul mukhtalif chehra dekhne ko milta hai. Yahan na samandar ki lehrain hain aur na shehri roads ki roshni, balki pathreeli wadiyan, paharon ki lakeeren, khula maidan aur wildlife ka ilaqa hai. Agar ap Karachi ki aam outing se kuch alag dekhna chahte hain to ye safar apko Sindh ke ek khamosh aur rawan qudrati hisse ke qareeb le jata hai.
Is trip ka route bhi apne andar ek kahani rakhta hai. Karachi ke markaz se nikal kar hum Lyari Expressway se Super Highway M9 ki taraf barhte hain. Super Highway par taqreeban 10 kilometer ke baad Memar Avenue Road ki taraf left turn liya jata hai. Yahan se safar dheere dheere shehri ilaqe se bahar nikal kar aise raston mein dakhil hone lagta hai jahan aas paas ka manzar bilkul badal jata hai.
Memar Avenue par qareeban 3 kilometer chalne ke baad Northern Bypass Link Road ki taraf right turn liya jata hai. Is road par taqreeban 6 kilometer safar ke baad Northern Bypass Road milti hai. Yahan se qareeban 7 kilometer ke baad Hub Dam Road ki taraf right turn lena hota hai. Aagay ka rasta zyada khula mehsoos hota hai aur pahari ilaqe ki pehli jhalakain bhi samne aane lagti hain.
Hub Dam Road par lagbhag 18 kilometer seedha safar karne ke baad Lashkari Goth Road ki taraf rukh kiya jata hai. Is point ke aas paas safar karte hue Hub Dam ka manzar bhi dekha ja sakta hai. Left side ki road Hub Dam ki taraf jati hai, jab ke hamara rukh Khar Centre Wildlife Facility ki taraf hota hai.
Lashkari Goth Road par qareeban 10 kilometer drive ke baad manzar aur zyada dilchasp ho jata hai. Yahan wildlife ka ilaqa shuru hota hua mehsoos hota hai. Sadak ke aas paas teetar nazar aa sakte hain aur agar ap gaari ki raftaar kam rakhein to in parindon ko qareeb se dekhne ka acha mauqa mil sakta hai.
Yahan ek aisa point bhi aata hai jahan se Hub Dam ka manzar kaafi khoobsurat nazar aata hai. Door pani, us ke peeche pahari silsile aur darmiyan mein khula ilaqa mil kar aisa view banate hain jo Karachi ke aam shehri manazir se bilkul mukhtalif hai.
Lashkari Goth Road se Khar Centre ki taraf barhte hue taqreeban 16 kilometer ka safar karna hota hai. Is hisse mein Kirthar ke pahar zyada wazeh nazar aane lagte hain. Jab pahari silsila samne ubhar kar aata hai to safar ka asal maza yahin se shuru hota hai.
Kirthar National Park ka safar aur Khar Centre ka wildlife
Khar Centre ka wildlife
Kirthar National Park sirf paharon ka naam nahi. Ye ek wasee protected area hai jahan arid environment ke mutabiq mukhtalif qisam ke janwar, parinday aur reptiles paye jate hain. Official aur conservation records mein Sindh ibex, urial, chinkara aur mukhtalif bird species ka zikr milta hai. Park ke Khar aur Karchat tourist centres bhi maujood hain jahan accommodation aur guides ki sahulat ka record milta hai.
Is liye jab ap Khar Centre ki taraf charhai shuru karte hain to sirf destination tak pohanchne ka intezar na karein. Raste ko bhi dekhein. Kabhi pahar ki dhalan par koi teetar chal raha hota hai, kabhi door pathreeli zameen par wildlife ki harkat nazar aa jati hai aur kabhi sirf khamosh wadi apki tawajjo apni taraf kheench leti hai.
Kirthar National Park mein Khar Centre aur wildlife
Khar Centre Kirthar National Park ke un aham tourist centres mein se hai jahan se park ke qudrati mahaul ko samajhne ka acha mauqa milta hai. Yahan pohanch kar shehri zindagi ka shor bilkul peeche reh jata hai. Samne khuli zameen, pathreelay pahar aur door tak phaili wadiyan hoti hain. Government related environmental documentation ke mutabiq Khar aur Karchat dono tourist centres mein cottage aur dormitory accommodation ke sath guides ki sahulat ka zikr milta hai.
Khar Centre ki taraf charhte waqt sab se dilchasp cheez wildlife ka achanak samne aa jana hai. Teetar is ilaqe mein aksar nazar aane wale parindon mein shamil hain. Agar ap camera le kar ja rahe hain to zoom lens ya mobile ka achha camera kaafi kaam aa sakta hai, kyun ke wildlife ko dekhte waqt faasla rakhna zaroori hai.
Is ilaqe mein Sindh ibex bhi khas ahmiyat rakhta hai. Ye pahari bakra pathreeli dhalanon aur pahari ilaqon mein rehne ke liye achi tarah adapt hota hai. Urial aur chinkara bhi Kirthar ke mashhoor wildlife species mein shamil hain. Kirthar ke wildlife records mein mammals aur birds ki achi khaasi diversity darj hai.
Safar ke dauran golden jackal ya sunehri lomri ka nazar aana bhi ek yaadgar lamha ho sakta hai. Golden jackal mauqa dekh kar chhote janwaron aur parindon ka shikar karta hai aur murda janwaron ko bhi ghiza ke tor par istemal karta hai. Aise janwar dry aur pathreelay mahaul mein apne aap ko adjust kar sakte hain, isi liye Kirthar jaisi jagah un ke liye munasib habitat ban sakti hai.
Agar ap ko aisa safar pasand hai jahan destination se zyada raste ka experience yaad rahe, to Khar Centre tak ka route apko mayoos nahi karega. Pahar ke darmiyan se guzarti road, achanak samne aane wali wildlife aur khula aasman is trip ko aam picnic se alag bana dete hain.
Khar Centre mein pohanch kar deewaron par lage wildlife ke tasaveer bhi dekhi ja sakti hain. Ye tasaveer apko andaza deti hain ke park ke mukhtalif ilaqon mein kis qisam ki wildlife payi jati hai. Yahan kuch der ruk kar aas paas ke manazir ko dekhna aur wildlife observation karna safar ka acha hissa ban sakta hai.
Khar Centre ki bulandi se neeche ki taraf nazar dalen to landscape aur zyada wazeh hota hai. Pathreeli zameen ke darmiyan pani ke chhote aur bare hisse nazar aa sakte hain. Isi tarah ke manazir batate hain ke Sindh ko sirf maidan aur garam shehri ilaqon se samajhna mukammal tasveer nahi.
Kirthar ke is safar ko ap Karachi ke doosre qudrati safaron ke sath bhi jor sakte hain. Misal ke tor par agar ap ne Mehar Jabal Karachi ke pahari safar ke bare mein padha hai to ap ko andaza hoga ke Karachi ke qareeb pahari ilaqon mein kitni mukhtalif qisam ke manazir chhupe hue hain. Kirthar ka experience is se bhi zyada wasee wildlife aur wilderness feel deta hai.
Khar Centre ke qareeb wildlife dekhte waqt sab se aham baat sabr hai. Har visit par janwar zaroor nazar aayein, ye zaroori nahi. Wildlife apni marzi se move karti hai, is liye gaari rok kar khamoshi se intezar karna aksar tez raftari se zyada faida deta hai.
Is safar mein gaari se utar kar har jagah chalna bhi theek approach nahi. Pahari ilaqon mein zameen uneven hoti hai aur kuch jagahon par wildlife ke qareeb jana khatarnak ho sakta hai. Guide ki hidayat follow karna aur janwaron se munasib faasla rakhna behtar hai.
Kirthar ka aik aur dilchasp pehlu iska cultural aur historical background hai. Park ke wasee ilaqe mein qudrati manazir ke sath purane asaar aur tareekhi maqamat bhi maujood hain. Ranikot Fort isi broader Kirthar region ki mashhoor tareekhi pehchan hai. Is wajah se ye ilaqa sirf wildlife lovers ke liye nahi balki history aur photography pasand logon ke liye bhi dilchasp hai.
Kirthar National Park se Hub Dam tak khoobsurat manzar
Khar Centre ke upar se drone view ya buland jagah se landscape ko dekhein to Hub Dam ka aik hissa door se bilkul lake jaisa nazar aa sakta hai. Pani ke sath pahar aur khula aasman mil kar bohat pur sukoon manzar banate hain. Isi view ko qareeb se dekhne ka faisla is safar ko aik aur dilchasp mor deta hai.
Khar Centre se Hub Dam ke is khoobsurat kinare ki taraf qareeban 15 minute ki drive ke baad pani ke qareeb pohancha ja sakta hai, route aur road condition ke mutabiq waqt mein farq aa sakta hai. Yahan pohanch kar jo pehli cheez mehsoos hoti hai wo shehar ke muqable mein khamoshi hai. Hawa chal rahi ho, pani ki halki lehrain samne hon aur aas paas pahar khamoshi se kharay hon to kuch dair ke liye waqt dheema mehsoos hota hai.
Hub Dam Hub River par banaya gaya aik aham water reservoir hai. WAPDA ke mutabiq is project ka construction June 1981 mein mukammal hua tha aur iska maqsad Hub River ke pani ko store karke Karachi mein municipal aur industrial water supply ke sath Balochistan mein irrigation aur industrial zarooriyat ke liye pani provide karna tha. Hub Dam Sindh aur Balochistan dono se related aik inter provincial project hai.
WAPDA ke record ke mutabiq Hub Dam Karachi ke liye water supply system ka bhi aham hissa raha hai. Is ka Karachi Water Supply Canal municipal aur industrial pani provide karta hai. Is liye yahan nazar aane wala pani sirf aik khoobsurat tourist view nahi, balki ilaqai water system ka bhi aham hissa hai.
Dam ke kinare kharay ho kar jab ap samne pani aur peeche Kirthar ke paharon ko dekhte hain to ye samajhna asan ho jata hai ke is route ko adventure trip kyun kaha jata hai. Aik taraf wildlife ka ilaqa hai, doosri taraf pahar hain aur phir achanak aik bara water reservoir samne aa jata hai.
Hub Dam ke aas paas photography karte waqt pani ke qareeb bohat zyada jane se bachna chahiye. Dam aur reservoir ka environment picnic spot ki tarah nazar aa sakta hai, lekin pani ki depth, slippery rocks aur local conditions ko nazarandaz nahi karna chahiye. Bachon ke sath hon to un par khas nazar rakhna zaroori hai.
Is safar ka aik aur dilchasp pehlu ye hai ke Kirthar aur Hub Dam ka ilaqa birdlife ke hawale se bhi ahmiyat rakhta hai. Conservation records mein Kirthar Park aur Hub Dam area ko Important Bird and Biodiversity Area ke tor par bhi identify kiya gaya hai.
Agar ap photography ka shauq rakhte hain to subah ya shaam ki roshni mein paharon aur pani ke views kaafi khoobsurat ho sakte hain. Lekin camera ke peeche itna bhi mashghool na ho jayein ke raste, weather aur gaari ki location ka khayal hi na rahe. Is ilaqe mein network aur facilities har jagah shehri ilaqon jaisi nahi samjhi jani chahiye, is liye basic preparation zaroor rakhein.
Kirthar ka safar karne wale logon ke liye 4×4 gaari ka option bhi important ho sakta hai. Park ke andar bohat se roads dirt ya non metallic tracks hain aur environmental documentation ke mutabiq park mein darjano nahi balki hundreds of kilometers par mushtamil non metallic roads maujood hain jin mein se bohat se tracks 4×4 vehicles ke liye zyada munasib hain.
Is liye ap apni normal city car ko har track par le jane ka faisla sirf is bunyaad par na karein ke road map par nazar aa rahi hai. Ground condition, mausam aur local guidance ko dekhein. Barish ke baad kachay raste ka haal bilkul mukhtalif ho sakta hai.
Visit ka waqt bhi experience par bohat asar dalta hai. Kirthar ka climate dry aur garam ho sakta hai, is liye sardiyon aur relatively thanday mahino mein outdoor exploration zyada comfortable rehta hai. Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation ki tourism information mein bhi Kirthar ke liye autumn aur winter ko behtar visiting period ke tor par mention kiya gaya hai.
Karachi se nikalte waqt pani ki bottles, basic snacks, sunglasses, cap, sunscreen aur comfortable shoes rakhna practical faisla hai. Fuel tank bhi shehar se nikalne se pehle check kar lena chahiye. Remote area mein choti si planning ki kami bhi poore din ke plan ko mushkil bana sakti hai.
Agar ap family ke sath ja rahe hain to wildlife ko dekhne ka tareeqa bachon ko pehle hi samjha dein. Janwaron ko khana dena, un ka peecha karna, gaari se shor machana ya un ke bohat qareeb jana wildlife ke liye bhi aur ap ke liye bhi masla ban sakta hai.
Kirthar mein raat guzarnay ka plan ho to accommodation pehle confirm karna behtar hai. Khar aur Karchat tourist centres mein tourist accommodation aur guides ki sahulat ka record available hai, lekin facilities ko Karachi ke hotel standards ke mutabiq assume nahi karna chahiye.
Aur agar ap Karachi ki samundari side bhi explore karna chahte hain to Manora Karachi ke samandari safar aur manazir par bhi nazar daal sakte hain. Manora aur Kirthar dono Karachi ke qareeb hain, lekin dono ka natural experience bilkul mukhtalif hai. Aik taraf samandar, doosri taraf pahar, wildlife aur dam ka landscape milta hai.
Kirthar ke safar ka asal husn isi variety mein hai. Subah Karachi ke rush se nikal kar road trip, phir paharon ka samna, raste mein teetar aur mumkin wildlife sightings, Khar Centre ki khamoshi aur akhir mein Hub Dam ke pani ke pas kuch waqt guzarna. Aik hi din mein manzar itni martaba badalta hai ke safar bore nahi hone deta.
Jab shaam dhalne lage to wapsi ka safar shuru karna behtar hota hai. Pahari aur remote roads par andhera hone ke baad driving mushkil ho sakti hai, is liye return timing pehle se dimagh mein rakhna samajhdari hai. Wapsi par wohi pahar aur raste jab shaam ki roshni mein nazar aate hain to manzar ka rang bilkul badal jata hai.
Karachi ke qareeb aise ilaqe bohat logon ke liye surprise hote hain. Aksar hum outing ka matlab mall, restaurant, beach ya shehar ke kisi mashhoor point tak samajhte hain, lekin Kirthar National Park ye dikhata hai ke Sindh ke andar bhi aik aisa qudrati ilaqa hai jahan pahar, wildlife, pani aur khamoshi aik sath milte hain.
Agar ap adventure, wildlife photography, road trips aur qudrat ke qareeb waqt guzarna pasand karte hain to Khar Centre aur Hub Dam ka ye route yaadgar safar ban sakta hai. Bas planning, fuel, pani, suitable vehicle, local guidance aur wildlife ke sath ehtiyat ko apne plan ka hissa zaroor rakhein.
Aur jab ap Khar Centre ke buland ilaqe se neeche ki taraf dekhein, samne pathreeli wadiyan hon, door Hub Dam ka pani chamak raha ho aur aasman bilkul khula ho, to shayad isi lamhe mein Kirthar National Park ki asal khoobsurti samajh aati hai. Karachi se qareeb hote hue bhi ye jagah apko shehar se bohat door kisi pur sukoon duniya ka ehsaas deti hai.
