Pakistan | Friday, September 23, 2011 | 5 photos

My name is Naresh kumar khatri I m final year student of electrical engineering I will complete my graduation after 4 months and I m very much interested to do job in National GeographicChannel. I have visited the town is at the foot of the Karoonjhar Hills. It is situated at a distance of about 15 km from the Indian border in pakistan. At one time the area was under the sea, which had to be crossed; the name "Parkar" means "to cross over". Nagarparkar has on its north Taluka Chachro, and on its west is Taluka Mithi of Tharparkar District, while on east of it lies Jodhpur (Rajasthan) India and on its south is Run Katchh. The area surrounding the city is a rocky belt called Parkar, and the remaining part is a sandy area. which is a strange thing.
The Karoonjhar hills surround Nagarparkar for 16 miles. The granite stone of this mountain is used for making tiles. There is a saying that the Karoonjhar hills provide 1-1/4 kilos of gold every day in the form of granite stone, china clay, and honey. In summer, different sounds are audible from the rock due to sulphur deposits.
The population of the taluka is 153,106, out of which 90,893 are Hindus and 62,213 are Muslims. There is one rest house beneath the Karoonjhar Mountain, but it is partially collapsed from the earthquake in 2001. The town is an ancient place of Hindu
The area experiences extremes of climate due to the rocky terrain
and these area are very much hot in summer season but when the rain falls the whole area is coverd by a thick layer of greenery as shown in picture taken by me .
