Uch

Uch is a town where the Indus and Chenab rivers meet, filled with mosques, tombs, and shrines spread throughout its streets. These religious structures create a landscape marked by dome-topped buildings and decorated stone work at nearly every turn.

The town was founded over 2,000 years ago when a settlement was established during the Indus campaigns. It later became a major spiritual center as Sufi masters built their shrines and tombs from the 12th through 15th centuries.

The shrines serve as places of prayer and reflection, drawing people seeking connection to the Sufi mystics honored here. You can observe how the blue and white tile patterns tell stories of devotion that have shaped daily life for centuries.

The town is reachable from airports in nearby regions, with options at reasonable distances. Visit during the cooler months, as temperatures can be quite high during the rest of the year.

The Tomb of Bibi Jawindi stands out for its octagonal shape and intricate tile decorations, remaining the most complete structure in town. The geometric patterns in faience are so detailed that you could spend hours studying the craftsmanship.
