39 kilometers away. Which is famous for pickles and sweets. Two national highways 55-N and 65-N pass through

this district, consisting of four tehsils. There is also an 8-M highway from Shikarpur to Gwadar via Ratodero. In the past,
Shikarpur was an important stop for caravans from Iran and Central Asia to India via Kandahar. Due to the increasing
importance of Sukkur during the British era, Shikarpur lost its value.
