K-2 & KDA Canals
The Kinjhar–Gujjo canal divides into the K-2 and KDA canals that carry Indus water to Karachi — the source of the lower delta’s fertility. Both run parallel to N-5 and right beside the project land.
Destination Thatta
The “Rome of Pakistan”, an hour from Karachi
Mughal mosques, UNESCO necropolises, ancient ports and freshwater lakes — the backdrop to every Pak Assasa farmhouse.
Why Thatta
Tourism potential waiting to be unlocked
Pakistan offers everything from the Arabian Sea coast to the northern mountains. Sindh — with its beaches, wetlands, deserts, hills, farmland and archaeological sites — has yet to develop its tourism industry the way the north has.
Thatta, a historic town of around 220,000 people, lies about 100 km from both Karachi and Hyderabad. It was the capital of Lower Sindh from the 14th century, ruled under the Mughals from 1592 to 1739, and has one of the largest concentrations of heritage monuments in the country.
Visitors from Karachi already frequent the area every weekend — but quality places to stay are scarce. That’s the gap our farmhouses fill.

Shah Jahan Mosque
Built in 1647–49 by the emperor who built the Taj Mahal, it holds South Asia’s most elaborate tile work — blue and white mosaics and geometric brickwork, with acoustics that carry the imam’s voice without speakers.

Keenjhar Lake
One of Pakistan’s largest perennial freshwater lakes, with reed beds and lotus flowers. A wildlife sanctuary and Ramsar site — and home to the legend of Noori and Jam Tamachi.
Spotlight: Keenjhar Lake
A cradle of water, praised by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai
Formed when the Indus changed course and later joined by a 1950s embankment to supply Karachi’s drinking water, Keenjhar supports remarkable biodiversity.
Its tomb at the centre of the lake is said to be that of Noori, the fisher girl who married Jam Tamachi, ruler of Sindh. The lake has inspired generations of Sindhi folk poetry.

Responsible tourism
Development that protects the lake
Fishing, mat-making, stone extraction, agriculture and tourism sustain lakeside communities — but unplanned development has taken its toll. Our projects follow an eco-sensitive, low-density approach that engages locals and visitors in conservation.
