Lyari Town

Lyari Town is a densely populated district in Karachi situated near the harbor. The area features a network of streets connecting smaller and larger markets, along with residential neighborhoods of varying structure.

The district was established as an independent administrative unit in 2001 and served as a separate division for over a decade. In 2015, it was merged into the larger Karachi South District and ceased to function as a separate entity.

The area is home to Balochi and Sindhi communities who speak Balochi, Sindhi, Urdu, and Pashto in daily life. This linguistic mix shapes the character of neighborhoods and how people interact in the streets.

The area is connected to major routes through the Lyari Expressway, making access straightforward. From here you can easily reach large markets and other parts of the city.

The area is known for its football and boxing training facilities, including Kakri Ground and People's Football Stadium. These sports venues have produced many professional athletes who compete at the national level.
