Ranikot

Ranikot, often called the “Great Wall of Sindh,” is a monumental fortification in the Jamshoro district of Sindh, Pakistan. Believed to be one of the largest forts in the world, it stretches over 26 kilometers, winding through rugged hills and arid plains. This historic marvel offers travelers a unique glimpse into Pakistan’s ancient defensive architecture and the grandeur of its Sindh heritage.

Visitors can explore the vast walls, imposing gates, and ancient bastions while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The region also features traditional villages, desert plains, and scenic vistas, making it an ideal destination for history enthusiasts, photographers, and adventure travelers alike. Overnight camping within or near the fort allows travelers to experience its scale and mystique under the starlit Sindh sky.

Best visited from October to March, when temperatures are cooler, Ranikot provides an unforgettable experience of history, architecture, and natural beauty in one of Pakistan’s most remarkable fortresses.

Even though I have travelled extensively to holiday destinations overseas, I was overwhelmed by The Big Sky Adventures experience in the north of Pakistan. Outstanding!

The Big Sky Adventures organised a trip to Hunza and Passu for a large and diverse group spectacularly. We were interested in activities off the beaten track, and were treated to mountain biking, bicycling, and swimming in an emerald green salt water lake at 8,500 feet above sea level. The hike to Passu glacier was fantastic, but the piece de resistance was the private concert with local musicians on our last evening. Our local guide and attendant helped us have a deeper cultural experience. Thank you, Big Sky Adventures for your attention to detail. Can’t wait for the next one…

My wife and I had the most amazing 4 nights in Skardu and adjoining areas with The Big Sky Adventures! Extremely well planned with great attention to detail! Azhar is incredibly knowledgeable and we were lucky that he gave us so much time! The treks were perfect and of course the surrounding majesty takes your breath away till you realise that you are also at 3,000 meters above sea level!
Thanks The Big Sky Adventures – a solid A+

Its been my wish list to travel through Pakistan as a tourist on a wonderful awe inspiring adventure. That’s hard to do once you leave the country and return without logistical wherewithal to be able to do so. Questions like, what are the fun and interesting things to do, appropriate cars, drivers, security, where to stay comfortable and safely. The Big Sky Adventures takes away all the worry and questions. That’s what they did for me and made my dream a reality. In their care you are always safely at home no matter how exciting and new your adventure may be.

The experience with The Big Sky Adventures was beyond my expectations. All aspects were managed meticulously.

I have been seeking adventure across the globe over the years. With Covid, Pakistan seemed like a good bet for 2020. We learnt about TBSA through a friend and asked team TBSA to organise a 10 day trip to Skardu. I left everything to them be it security, transportation, logistics, hotels or food. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m happy to share that everything was arranged incredibly well. If I were to do it again anywhere in Pakistan it will have to be with TBSA. Its adventure travel taken seriously.

Inspired. Rejuvenated. I thoroughly enjoyed my trek with The Big Sky Adventures in GB. Thoughtfully planned, well executed and combined with meeting little Karim, the mighty mountaineer from Hushe, it was incredible. Discover and experience Pakistan with The Big Sky Adventures.
