Mithi
Take a bus from Mirpur Khas (3 h, Rs 250) or Karachi (6 h, Rs 1,300) and spend 1 night in Mithi – see Gadi Bhit, Naukot Fort and the Shahi Bazaar.
Mithi is a small desert town in Tharparkar, Sindh. A single night lets you see the main sights and experience the local market; longer stays add little extra.
