A significant accomplishment in the region is the construction of a 35-kilometer road from Wahi Pandhi Town, with an investment of PKR 1,000 million. This road not only improves accessibility but also substantially contributes to the safety of travel for tourists.
To further enrich the tourism experience, interconnected roads have been developed between different viewpoints, facilitating seamless movement across the area. Accommodation options have been thoughtfully designed, featuring six furnished duplex family resorts, an 8-room tourist hostel, a PD rest house, a fibreglass rest house, and well-appointed huts. These accommodations come with supplementary amenities, including mosques, event spaces, restaurants, tuck shops, cricket grounds, and children’s play areas.
Energy sustainability has also been addressed through the incorporation of solar power systems in power huts, resorts, and restaurants. Additionally, a dispensary operates nearby to cater to medical needs and is staffed with medical professionals.
Consistent water supply across elevations ranging from 5,000 to 6,000 feet has been ensured through the construction of eight reservoir tanks and associated pumping stations.
Chairman Jamali reiterated his dedication to transforming Gorakh Hill Station into a premier tourist destination in Pakistan, particularly for the people of Sindh.
