Shadodkot

Shahdadkot lies in the upper Sindh plain west of the Indus, near the foothills of Balochistan. The town is associated with the Talpur family, whose chiefs rose to prominence under the Kalhora rulers before establishing their own rule over Sindh in the late eighteenth century. Fields and settlements in this country depended on river channels and water descending from the western hills. The town formed part of the network linking the Indus plain with the uplands.
