Mothparja
Skip Mothparja unless you have a specific reason to visit a small farming village in northern Sindh: no accommodation, limited transport, and sights are a mosque and rural walks. Half a day from Larkana or Sukkur is enough.
Mothparja is a tiny agricultural village in northern Sindh with no hotels, few facilities and one notable building — Noorani Jamia Mosque. Its appeal is limited to travellers who want to see rural Pakistani village life, walk through fields and buy Sindhi handicrafts. Most visitors should spend time in Larkana, Mohenjo-daro or Sukkur instead.
