Samundri
One day is enough to see the clock tower, main bazaars and a grain market; no overnight stay needed.
Samundri is a small market town in Northern Punjab, 45 km from Faisalabad. Its attractions are clustered around the clock tower and bazaars, so a half‑day walk plus a quick lunch covers the highlights. Overnight accommodation is optional for those who prefer a slower pace.
