Karachi Division, Administrative division in Sindh, Pakistan.
Karachi Division is an administrative region in Sindh that encompasses the port city of Karachi and several surrounding districts. The area spans across the southern part of the province and contains both urban centers and rural zones alongside industrial areas.
British colonial traders established Karachi as a district in the 19th century and developed it into a major administrative and trading center. Following several administrative reorganizations after independence, the division was reinstated in its current form.
The division features multiple languages including Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashto, and Balochi, with Urdu speakers comprising over 50 percent of residents.
Visitors should understand that this is an administrative region spanning a large area rather than a single destination to visit. Exploring it requires moving between different city sectors and districts with varying conditions and characteristics.
The region hosts two of South Asia's largest ports that handle cargo movement for a vast geographic area. These ports make the area a critical point for international trade routes.
