Lyari River, Seasonal river in Karachi, Pakistan.
The Lyari River stretches 50 kilometers through Karachi, flowing from northeast to center before emptying into the Arabian Sea at Monora channel.
Before 1947, the river maintained clean water and supported fishing activities, marking a natural border for the initial British settlement established in 1839.
The river banks became home to numerous communities who developed specific traditions and ways of life connected to this waterway.
The Lyari Expressway runs parallel to the river for 16.5 kilometers, providing a direct route from central Karachi to the port area.
The river flows only five days per year during monsoon season, remaining dry for approximately 360 days annually.
