    A place with a potential to be an amazing tourist place. Overall experience is good but not well kept. There is no parking area and you have to park few hundred meters before the entrance in the middle of residential area. Once you park, you are immediately surrounded by locals asking for money. There is no guide but you will find people who will tell you different versions of the history. It's very scenic. A must visit if you happen to be in the area.

    A beautiful and historical place, the tombs of seven sisters who sacrificed their lives to save their honour and respect. You can enjoy the 360° view from their tombs. Further, those tombs are actually the royal family tombs, and the tombs of those seven sisters are in a cave where only females are allowed to enter.

    It was really a wonderful experience. The graves made me to think of this mortal world. No one will be able to live forever. However, the location was awesome covered with Indus River, which allows Lansdowne Bridge to ride over it and then the Sukkur Bridge which really work to bridge gaps.

    The folklore about these sisters is very interesting. According to it , there were seven sisters who were very pious and they veiled themselves from all the men. Infact no man has ever seen their faces. At that time there was a Raja of Sukkur who wanted to meet them. When these ladies came to know about his intentions they prayed to God to protect them . According to the story the land where they lived enclaved and they disappeared. The place is serene and there are Arabic and Persian engraved on the tombs. This Graveyard is on the left bank of river Indus in Rohri Sindh and one can see Rohri bridge at the back ground. There is a beautiful view of river Indus and surrounding areas.

    One of the historic place to visit in District Sukkur. A million dollar view can be enjoyed from this spot. Unfortunately no proper tourist arrangement done by Government.

    A historical place claimed to be the graves of 7 sisters from the times of Raja Dahir. There are numerous other graves too. The access is really shabby and there is no parking place for vehicles. The only access route is muddy and slushy with smelly surroundings. The tomb is deteriorating and not well kept. There are steep stairs to the top which pose difficulty to old aged people. On the top, the edges are risky and dangerous.

    Historical place but not well maintained. One guide (baba) is there who is always seeking for money.

    Amazing and historical place on the left side of the indus River near another historical lansdown bridge, "satyun jo astaan" means seven sisters' graves This site was built by Mir Abu al Qasim Namkeen when he was the governor of Bakhar. He used this great scenic place as a cultural gathering place, particularly in full moon nights. Abu al Qasim died in 1018AH, and his body was brought for burial from Kabul at this place. His son Mir Abu al Baqa Amir Khan died in 1057AH in Thatta, and his body too was brought to bury here along with his father Abu al Qasim Namkeen Rohri, also known as Satyunn Jo Aastan, is the resting place for the Seven Female-friends. According to folklore, these female friends resided here. These unmarried female-friends veiled themselves from all males, a practice called purdah (the practice of preventing men from seeing women). But for the fear of a tyrannical raja resulted in their disappearance, possibly in a cave in the side of a hill. Thus, they became satti. It is probable that this folklore has its origins in the Hindu ritual of sati, a ritual where widows burnt themselves or were burnt on their dead husband's pyre. In reality, however, this is the burial place of a ruler from Sukkur, Mir Abu Al-Qasim Namkeen (961 A.H). The tomb complex was ordered to be built by him. It was constructed in the ochre stone similar to that used in the necropolis of Makli Hill. Inscriptions and Quranic verses in the finest Naskh script adorn the walls and interior of these structures. Rows of hujras (rooms on the ground floor) were constructed for travellers and students. The famous blue tiles of Sindh were used to enhance the aesthetic impact. On one of the smaller hills that arises out of the river bank on the south has a leveled platform on which there are many carved gravestones like those on the Makli Hill at Thatta with chain ornaments and panels of Arabic quotations from the Quran. The entire space between the graves is paved, and a flight of stairs leads up to the platform from the southside. Enamelled tiled work is freely used on these tombs, most of which are dated 1018 to 1301 AH., that is between 1609 and 1883 AD. The principal grave is that of Mir Kasim, one of the Sabzwari Shahids dated 1018 AD. This was probably the grave that sanctified the place, and the lamp post and lamp that were placed in front of it are still there; and it gives the name of Than Kasim Shah to the hill. But the name by which it is more generally known is the hill of the seven virgins.
