Derawar Fort and Cholistan: The Bahawalpur Circuit

Bahawalpur se lagbhag ek ghanta kuch bhi nahi aata, aur phir achanak chaalis burj ret se ubharte hain. Derawar Fort Cholistan ka sab se mazboot qila hai, aur November ki thand mein jab desert ka rang sunehra hota hai, ye South Pakistan ka behtareen weekend manzar ban jata hai. Ye safar Multan city guide ke sath jora ja sakta hai, aur jo Tharparkar dekh chuke hain wo maanenge ke hamare deserts ki alag alag zubaan hai.

The Fort You Can See From Miles Away

Derawar ki bunyaad nauvin sadi ke Bhati qile par hai, Rai Jajja Bhatti se mansoob, aur aaj ki shakal 1732-33 mein Nawab Sadeq Mohammad Khan ne banwai, Bahawalpur ke Abbasi khandaan se. Deewarein 1,500 metre ke daire par chalti hain aur kuch jagah tees metre unchi, pakhi eenton se bani, aur chaalis gol burj har taraf se nazar aate hain. UNESCO ne ise Derawar and the Desert Forts of Cholistan ke naam se tentative list par rakha hai, kyunke is waadi mein aik darjan se zyada purane qilon ke avshesh hain. Qile ke paas hi Abbasi nawabs ka marble ka maqbara aur safed masjid hai, jo ret par chand jaisi lagti hai.

Inside the Walls, Honestly

Andar ka hissa khandahar hai, kamrein khali aur chhat gir chuki. Photo bahar se behtareen bante hain, magar andar jaana us din ki ijazat par munhasir hai jo mahkama ya caretaker ke haath mein hoti hai. Isi liye Bahawalpur se guide rakhein jo pehle se telefon kar le, aur Rohtas Fort guide ki tarah yahan bhi asal maza deewaron ki kahani mein hai. Shaam ka waqt sab se behtar hai, jab parchhaiyan lambi hoti hain.

Uch Sharif, the City of Saints

Bahawalpur se kuch hi door maghrib ki taraf, Panjnad ke ilaqay mein, Uch Sharif hai, bareuni sadiyon ka soofi shehar. Yahan paanch imarat Pakistan ki UNESCO tentative list par hain, jin mein Bibi Jawindi ka tomb sab se mashhoor hai, neeli aur safed glazed eenton wala, aur bagal mein Jalaluddin Surkhposh Bukhari ka mazar. Ye sirf deewaron ka jalwa nahi, dil ka maamla hai, aur log Sindh aur South Punjab se aaj bhi mannat lene aate hain. Hakra darya jo yahan se guzarta tha, hazaron saal pehle zameen mein sama gaya, aur usi ke kinare ye shehar khila tha.

Noor Mahal and Bahawalpur City

Bahawalpur khud aap ka base hai: Noor Mahal, 1870s ka Italian andaaz ka mahal jo nawabs ne banwaya tha aur ab museum hai, shehar ki sab se bari gawaahi hai ke ye riyasat kya thi. Bahawalpur Museum aur purana shehar ek din ke kaam hain, aur Umrah from Bahawalpur guide batata hai ke shehar ke apne airport ke sath desert ka din Umrah ke safar se kaise jora jata hai.

Planning the Desert Run

Cholistan ka safar mushkil nahi, magar bila tayyari bewaqoof hai. Ye checklist yaad rakhein:

• November se February ka mahina chunein, din ki dhoop mild aur raat ki thand pakki hoti hai
• Base Bahawalpur rakhein, Derawar taqreeban 100 km door hai, Ahmedpur East ke raste, aakhri hissa kachha registaani hai
• Local guide aur jeep ya 4x4 lagwayein, sawari ki gaari ret mein atak sakti hai
• Paani, snacks aur fuel Bahawalpur se hi bhar lein, desert mein kuch nahi milta aur signal aata jata rehta hai
• Suraj nikalne ya dhalne ke waqt pohanchein, beech ka waqt ret mein sab se bhaari hota hai
• Sardiyon mein rally season hota hai, 2027 ka plan hamari rally guide mein hai

Cholistan ki ret par likhi wo kahaniyan hain jo kitabon mein nahi miltin, sirf burjon ke saye mein.

Ek Dil Se Baat

Registan pani ki qeemat sikhaata hai, aur yahi sabak Falasteen ke liye dua mein laata hai, jahan Gaza ke gharon tak paani ka rukhsat kabhi kabhi dinon ka muamla ban jata hai aur bachon ki pyaas duniya ke saamne hai, magar hukmran bastein aise chal rahe hain jaise zameen par kuch howa hi nahi. Ya Allah, un ki pyaas bujha, un ke ghar unhein wapas kar, un par jo zulm ki chhat rakhi gayi hai use utha. Sudan ke gaon jis jang ne ura diye, wahan bhook pehle se thi; un khaali hathon ko tere lutf se bhara kar, aur un ko apni mitti ki wapsi naseeb farma. Ameen.

Aakhri Baat

Do din ka saaf hisaab: pehla din Bahawalpur aur Noor Mahal; doosra din Derawar aur Uch Sharif, wapisi par Multan city guide ka rukhsat. RYK walon ke liye Umrah from Rahim Yar Khan guide ke mutabiq ye circuit unke darwaze par hai, aur Sindh ka Mohenjo-daro circuit isi lane par aage barhta hai. HTG Travel ka desk South Punjab ka poora naqsha rakhta hai, clients ko likhi hui itinerary deta hai, aur raat ki bhi WhatsApp ka jawab deta hai. Ret ka safar aise hi sambhalna chahiye.
