I live in this city, and I am your subscriber who has watched your other city tour of pakistan 🇵🇰, If I would have known you are coming to my city I would have arranged a special tour for you.
Incredible tour. Thanks for showing me the place where I was born. I have not been there a long time ago near about 30 years. Thanks for memorized my heritage.
Brother, I am a RUclipsr myself. On your way to Karachi, Nawab Shah will come to the beach. Stay with us. We will make you visit some famous places of Nawab Shah.
@@AshAndDan. Here's some history of that incredible bridge. Between 1872 and 1882 bridge survey was conducted and different people suggested 5 different bridge proposals. None of them were considered completely feasible at that time. An engineer by the name of Sir Alexander Rendel was then called in and he proposed a design consisting of two anchored cantilevers, each 310 feet long, carrying a suspended span of 200 ft in the middle. This design was considered feasible and became known as the Lansdowne Bridge. The girder work of this bridge was given to Westwood, Baillie & Co. of London. The bridge was first put together in the contractor's yard. The 170 feet tall cantilevers of the bridge when assembled, made quite a conspicuous scene in London. By 1887 the steel work started to arrive at Sukkur and Rohri. The bridge construction was then started under the supervision of F.E. Robertson and Hecquet, whereas, local contractors were Malik Abdul Karim & Malik Abdul Raheem. Their names are written to date on a plaque on each cantilever of the bridge. The construction of Lansdowne Bridge was no joke. It is said that the bridge designer did not think much about how the bridge would be built in real life. Giant derricks, each weighing 240 tons and each being 230 feet in length had to be erected leaning out over the water and at the same time they had to incline inwards in the plane at right-angles to the line of the bridge. And as if that was not difficult enough, horizontal tie girders 123 feet long and weighing 86 tons each had to be assembled at a height of 180 feet. This indeed was a challenge in the 1880s. When both cantilevers were completed, work started on the center span. The bridge designer had intended that the 200-ft. long span would be assembled on boats and then hoisted up. This plan did not work in practice as the Indus remained quite violent 6 months of the year owing to floods. In the end, Robertson built another temporary bridge to provide a platform on which the suspended span could be put together. The temporary staging weighed 56 tons. The permanent girder work of the 200-ft. span was erected and riveted in four-and-a-half days. This is good going even by today's standards. In the 1880s, Robertson's men did not have pneumatic tools or electric drives.
@@muneebhassan8236 haha we were used to if after the first day so we just embraced it the second time 😂 Karachi vlogs next then we will be getting the north vlogs out!
Those boats are decorated with what is called Pakistani Truck art. The art form goes back to ancient history probably back to Mohen Jo Daro times of the Indus civilization. (Look up Indus Civilization and you will know).
Near sukkur our larkana city is very developed and well known for political and also world's ancient civilization mohen jo daro is here almost 5000 years ago and this is foreigners place❤
Brilliant vlog of the city it's very chilled but Karachi is the busiest City in Pakistan and also very unique as all cultures mix definitely looking forward to the vlog
I THINK THIS BUILDING WAS OLD SIKH TEMPLE IN SUKAR THIS BIG BRIDGE ENGINEERING BRITISH TIME MAYBE 200 HUNDRED YEARS OLD .NOW WELCOME TO KARACHI CITY ASH & DAN REALY VERY NICE VEDIO OR YOU BOTH GAYS LOOKING SO SMART
This bridge has some very mysterious stories, since its inception it was no mean feat to make it, rumour has it that when this technical and mind bogglingbridge was made and was completed it was amarvelofit's own and the engineerthrew the key which locks the bridge was thrownin the river never to be found again. @AshAndDan.

A few key spots in Sukkur could be the Minaret of Mir Masoom Shah Bikhri and a very old and famous Hindu temple in the center of the River Indus in addition to Sukkur Barrage by Britishers
Hi, Ash & dan I m from karachi pakistan Ash when you visit sukkur so you miss the a historical place that name MASOOM SHAA MINAAR near to ghanta ghar (clock tower) its history is about 1000 years old
may i recommend to visit Chakwal/Kalar Kahar/Kheuwra Salt Mine/Neela Wahn These places are in close proximity and are very scenic and breathtaking... if you have the time to fit in, i highly recommend... 👌
What a vlog! Unique stuff. My mom grew up in Sukkur in the 1960's ... She lived close to the famous bridge. This is the 1st time i have seen this place. What a place. Thank you for such unique content. This is brilliant ❤
You should go chhachh by the indus River. No vloggers go there places like attock city, kamra, tarbela dam and hasan abdal where they have the Sikh temple panja
Northern Pakistan i.e Gilgit-Baltistan is totally different to Peshawar (North West, near Afghan border and plagued by Taliban terrorists) . I'd recommend tourists to go to the North /GB etc but keep away from Peshawar and the North West. 😕 That's the honest reality .

Guys when are you coming to Lahore?
We visited Lahore already, you can see our vlogs from our time there on the Pakistan playlist 🇵🇰😄

All of a sudden Ash's hairstyle changed in a matter of a few days. She had a haircut in Pakistan?
Haha no haircut, I washed it and this is how my natural hair looks when I put effort into it 😂
Hahaha Sukkur is a funny name but locals here pronounce it as SAKKHAR. I understand how all westerners will pronounce 😂
Haha we really weren’t sure if we were saying it right 😂😂
Go to peshwar❤
One day, for sure 😀
