We then started packing for our trip by road on our private vehicle to Khairpur City and for that we went to car service center and wasted almost 3 hours due to rush. We came back around 12:00pm and now have just a couple of hours for rest after such a hectic day because we will have to gather at 2:00pm and leave for Khairpur City by 3:00pm. The total distance we had to cover was somewhere around 540 km.
