In the absence of tarmac road, travel was difficult and only the most intrepid outsiders ventured here. In a word, the entire district of Tharparkar was a well-kept secret.

Despite all the legacy its history was unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first century BCE, when the port of Pari Nagar became functional through the Middle Ages, the region has featured in history.
