Mirpur Khas

In Mirpurkhas one can see some historical places, agriculture farms, mango farms, historical buildings and village life.

Kahu Jo Darro: The oldest historical place in Mirpurkhas is of course Buddhist archeological site, Kahu Jo Darro. A Buddhist Stupa was excavated from this site. However, due to negligence of the government authorities, nothing interesting is left on the sites for general tourists. Archeologists and scientific investigators, however, can still find interesting remains for their research.

Chitorri Graveyard: This is ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs, the former rulers of Mirpurkhas, located at about 20 kilometers from the town. Tombs dating back to 17th and 18th centuries have very interesting sandstone architecture. It’s a good site for tourists visiting Mirpurkhas.

Mukhtiarkar Office: Now a government functionary’s office was reconstructed by the British colonial government at the site of the residence of Mir Sher Muhammad Talpur, the last Talpur ruler of Sindh. Nearby this building are the government buildings now used a prison. These are also worthy of visit and photography.

Government Girls High School: This school is housed in a historic building. It’s still a very picturesque inside its compound. This building is now under government’s custody and is being used as a girl’s school. However, this building too has been neglected and not maintained well. It was constructed by a rich Hindu resident of Mirpurkhas during the times of British Raj Period.

Syed Ghulam Nabi Shah District Council Building: It houses District Government offices now-a-day and is venue of District Government meetings.

Durbar Hall: The Durbar Hall of Mirpurkhas and adjoining offices also have historical value. These are is located within the compound of what is now known as ‘DCO office’. It was used as an office of the British Administrators during the British Raj. Later, after 1947, it was used as office of the Deputy Collector, Mirpurkhas. Now it’s in use of District Coordinating Officer for conducting official meetings, etc.

Mango Farms: Mirpurkhas is famous all over the world for its mango farms. A visit to Mirpurkhas would not be complete if one doesn’t visit any mango farm. The nearest government farm, known as Government Fruit Farm, where Sindh Horticulture Research Institute is located, is most famous and easy to visit. Other farms can be visited by contacting the farm owners and local prominent people.

Village life: Those interested in village life or in meeting with former Talpur ruling family members may contact any of the prominent persons. They can also arrange travelers’ visit to the rural villages.
