Manghopir receives many visitors from far away. They come to bathe in a hall where they are charged Rs 3 (US 5 cents) and Rs 5 (US 8 cents) for children and adults, respectively. Hot- and cold-water springs run side by side at Manghopir, whose waters are known for their healing properties, particularly for skin diseases. Another attraction are the crocodiles that live in a pond which people visit with animal sacrifices. Many legends surround the shrine of Hazrat Manghopir and the crocodiles. Some people believe that the saint came from Saudi Arabia while others believe that he hailed from Khurrasan and arrived here in the 13th century. Muslims and Hindus refer to him as Jaraj.

One can go to Gadani where all the shipbreaking used to occur back in the 70’s. There are still a ship or two being slowly broken up there, but it’s a far cry from the bustling activity of days gone by.

The government has embarked on the beautification of Karachi’s coastline by building a Beach park in Clifton that will eventually be connected to the Jehangir Kothari parade and Bagh Ibn- Qasim. There are other beaches near the city such as Sandspit, Hawke’s Bay, the French Beach, Russian Beach and Paradise Point (a sandstone rock promontory with a natural arch) that are frequented by visitors every day.

Karachi is dotted with many shopping areas, large and small, attracting large crowds of shoppers in the evenings. Saddar, Zainab Market, Handicrafts market, Gulf Shopping Mall, Bahadurabad, Tariq Road, Zamzama, Jamia Cloth Market, Zaib-un-nissa Street (Elphiniston Street) and Hyderi are the most famous shopping areas in the city. One can find all sorts of clothing, garments, and fabrics in Karachi’s bazaars, as well as a number of other items. The Saddar area in downtown Karachi is also home to countless large and small markets dealing from everyday household items to clothing and fabrics to electronics. Empress Market in Saddar is a large Victorian-era market, home to wholesalers of spices and other items. Some other notable shopping areas include Paposh Market and Hydari. Every Sunday, a weekly birds and animals market and a nursery is also held in Liaquatabad. Karachi also has a number of large modern shopping malls, among which the Park Towers, The Forum, Millennium Mall and Dolmen Mall are notable. More of these malls are currently being built, including the Atrium Mall, Jumeira Mall, IT Tower and the Dolmen City Mall.

Mangroves are best seen by hiring a local boat from Port Qasim. A local guide is needed, but the person you hire the boat from will arrange that. Exploring the Indus delta requires a local guide or two, for it is impossible to navigate otherwise. You can take a boat from Keti Bandar or Shah Bandar.

To the east, and slightly to the north about 20 miles from Karachi are the Chaukandi Tombs. There are numerous tombs dating back to the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. A visit to Thatta can be combined with a visit to the Chaukandi Tombs to make a round trip of about 8-10 hours. It’s a long drive, but extremely interesting. Thatta has a number of places worth visiting, and the city is in the World Heritage List. Alexander the Great stopped here for a short breather while he was about conquering the world.

Keenjhar lake (also known as Kalri) is just to the west of Thatta. One can bird watch, or just enjoy the water. Makli is 98 km from Karachi - if you leave 10am, you should arrive by noon. 3 to 4 hours is the time you need to see the tombs etc.
