Vehari
Skip Vehari unless you have a specific reason (cotton trade, shrine pilgrimage via Pakpattan). Half a day is enough: visit the wildlife park and eat falooda, then move on to Multan or Bahawalpur.
Vehari is a mid-sized agricultural city in Southern Punjab, known for cotton and mangoes. It has one notable sight — the Vehari Wildlife Park — and a famous falooda house. Most travellers pass through on the road between Multan and Lahore via Pakpattan. It is not a destination in itself.
