Up until the early 1990s, the portion of the Thar Desert that lies within Pakistan was largely devoid of blacktop roads, with the nearest one ending at the desert’s western periphery in Naukot. All travel from this point onwards was done either by camel, vintage Reo trucks from the Second World War locally referred to as kekrra [crab] or privately owned jeeps. Back then, the journey from Naukot to Nagarparkar, which lies at the easternmost edge of Tharparkar district today, a five-hour drive would take up to 14 hours, writes Salman Rashid in his new book, Mithi: Whispers in the Sand.
