Kai Valley
Sights/Landmarks
The Kai valley offers scenic views on both sides of the road, and it seems as if the hills were once below sea level due to the visible signs of water erosion. A narrow and difficult track leads to the two cave sites:
There are four prehistoric or chalcolithic sites here, namely: Bulo-Ji-Buthi, Nuko-Buthi, Kai-Buthi and Naing.
‘Bulo-Ji-Buthi’ (mound of Bulo) is located about 35 km from Sehwan. It is an old hamlet near a village that used to be inhabited by the Noohani tribe. ‘Bulo-Ji-Buthi’ is called such because the grave of Bulo Khoso of Kalhora period is located here. According to legend Bulo was a brave person whose reputation for bravery spread from Kai to Gaaj. The mound has a damaged kot (compound wall of stones) all around it.
Near the lower caves, there is a garden known as Panjatan-Jo-Bagh (garden of five sacred personalities) planted with date palm and other trees. One can see a water mill on the centuries-old spring; this water is also used by the locals for cultivation.
Kai has a rest house as well.
- The lower site, locally called “Satt Ghariyoon” (Seven caves), is to the east of the village Muhammad Khan Noohani, situated near a mountainous water stream.
- The upper site lies to the south of the village, at the top of the hill which is surrounded by an ancient compound wall of stones; here the remains of ancient hamlets and pieces of terracotta pottery have been found belonging to the old Indus Valley Civilization and the caves of Stone Age.
