Not afraid of ghosts are you? Would you ever consider spending a night in a graveyard? No? We didn’t think so either, better to visit them during the day. One graveyard that is a must see during daylight hours is Makli Hill.

Makli Hill is the largest graveyard in Pakistan and by some to be considered the largest ancient burial ground in the world. It is the final resting place, to rulers, warriors, locals and over 125,000 Sufis.

Located near the Sindh city of Thatta, on a hill is the burial ground that holds the history of four Muslim regimes. With tombs that date back to as far as the 13th or 14th century. The artwork and the craftsmanship of the tombs and mausoleums built in Makli Hills are stunning. They are a testament to Mughal architecture, with finite detail given to the etchings on the sides of the gravestones, the work is simply stunning. The calligraphy on some of the tombs is beyond belief due to isn’t intricate work, detail finesse and beauty, evidence of unbelievable talent that existed in that time.
