Mohenjo-daro
Verified FeaturedAbout Mohenjo-daro
Mohenjo-daro (Mound of the Dead Men) is one of the world's earliest great cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built around 2500 BCE by the Indus Valley Civilisation. Located near Larkana in Sindh, it was one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation with an estimated 40,000–50,000 inhabitants at its peak. The city demonstrates remarkably advanced urban planning with a grid street layout, underground drainage system, multi-storey houses, a Great Bath, and a granary — all built 4,500 years ago. It was abandoned around 1700 BCE and rediscovered only in 1922.

Walking through 4,500 years of history
Standing at the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro, I felt completely awestruck. This was a fully functioning city with running water and sewage when Europe was still in the Stone Age. The site is incredibly evocative and the museum excellent. A must for any history lover.
Extraordinary but requires effort to reach
Getting to Mohenjo-daro is not easy — best to fly from Karachi to the local airport (45 min). But the site itself is remarkable. Hire a guide — without context the ruins look like bricks. With context they are mind-blowing.
