Bundal Island

Bundal Island is an uninhabited landmass located off the coast of Karachi's Defence area to the southeast. Part of the Indus River delta, the island covers approximately 24 square kilometers and features coastal scenery along the Arabian Sea. Travelers visit this location primarily for its natural environment and isolation from the urban center of the city.

Getting There

Access to the island requires a boat trip from the Karachi coastline. From the city center, travelers must first travel to the coastal departure points in the Defence area. The total journey time varies depending on traffic and boat availability, but generally takes several hours including the transit to the shore and the crossing.

Duration of Visit

Visitors typically allow a full day to explore the island, as the remote nature of the site and the reliance on boat schedules make short trips impractical.

When to Visit

The best time to visit is during the cooler months to avoid the extreme heat of the Karachi summer. Morning departures are recommended to maximize daylight hours on the island. Because it is uninhabited, it does not experience the same crowds as mainland city attractions.

Nearby Attractions

The island can be combined with visits to other coastal and city sites in Karachi:

  • Malir River (9.5km)
  • Clifton Beach (10.7km)
  • Bagh Ibne Qasim (13.9km)
  • Shree Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple (14km)
