Location perfect of student picnic

I believe that the perfect place for the picnic of a student is thar (The desert) of sindh, pakistan. Because
it is not only the ancient place but it is too much historical. It possess natural beauty
and the main thing is that student should must observe the problems and issues of
thari peoples so in future if someone gets the rank that he should do something for
its betterment.

“Thar and my heart are the two names of the same desert”, once wrote Mazhar-ul-
Islam, the world-renowned short story writer and pioneer of a new school of short
story in Urdu, Pakistan’s national language. He belongs to Punjab province, writes in
Urdu, and most of his admirers belong to Sindh province of which Tharparkar district
is one of the major parts with a total area of 28,170 sq. k.m. Times back, there was
a sea where the Thar is now. The geologists believe that the sea turned to a desert
because of some big earthquake and stormy winds created sand dunes. But, the
wrinkled-faces of old folks of Thar are there to tell the travelers a centuries old tale
of a Rishi (worshiper) who’s buddua (asking something from god against someone)
turned the sea dry.

What attract you most:

The life is miserable and uncertain in Thar but full of action and thrill for those
tourists and visitors who take pains to discover and see new cultures, lifestyle and
traditions. Right from a travel on kaikra (the 2nd world war army truck) which is the
only transportation for people and animals together to reach inside Thar and to the
sun-rising and sun-setting scenes, camel caravans, grazing and traveling herds, big
and small sand dunes with thorny bushes, traditional dresses and jewelry of women,
folk music and dances may attract you for their richness and originality.

Some worth-seeing places:

Though sand is all around in Thar. But, in the Nangarparkar, the egg-shaped hills of
Karon-Jhar and the charm of its valleys coupled with some sacred places for Hindus
may give unforgettable memories. A few kilometers away in the north-western side
from Nangarparkar, Hindus’ holy place Saroharo attracts its believers as hindus
denote this temple to their Mahadev (the biggest god). Saroharo is on the brink of a
seasonal stream and a all-season-pond where Hindus come for their rituals. Since
they have faith on the presence of these hills and pond in their holy books, they throw
the bones and ashes of dead bodies into whirlpool of this pond after burning them.
They also celebrate Shorateri fair here every March. Above Saroharo, there is the
Rishi’s aasthan (a very small room used for worship) and ten impressions of his
fingers of feet. According to a belief that Rishi worshipped here for ten thousand
years but finally lost his invocation by touching a young girl. (He is the same Rishi
whose request to the god turned the sea into a desert.) Gaomakhi is another aasthan,
just a kilometer away in the north of Saroharo. Here the tips of two hills join each
other, making the shape of a cow. A 30-feet high waterfall may be witnessed here
during the monsoon season. Hindus come here too for their rituals. At the distance
of a few yards in the south of Gaomakhi, here is a very deep pond named Bhemgoda.
It is 20 feet wide and around 30 feet long pond that never dries up. Inchlas is another
aasthan towards the south-western of Nangarparkar. Here, three streams come out
of different hills. Water flows from these natural streams all the year. A tavern is here
for the travelers and Hindus who visit Inchlas aasthan. Chandan Gud is a fort, built
by Rana Chandan, one of the Parkar rulers, in 1859. Now, only its remains are there.

So however the visit to thar will not only enhance the knowledge of student but it will
also aware the students about the lack of basic facilities at thar too. it will help the
stude.t to know about the culture and tradition of the thari peoples .student may also
observe the dialet of thari language so it will help the student in many ways to have
a trip to thar.
