This rally covers three districts of Punjab, including Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalnagar, and Bahawalpur. What makes this rally significant is that veteran racers participate in it. Over 100 jeeps, including jeeps of race veterans Mir Nadir Ali Khan Magsi and Sahibzada Sultan Muhammad Ali and others, have already been registered for the upcoming rally. This rally’s 1st round lasts for 220 km, while its 2nd round is of 245 km.
While speaking with PakWheels.com, Fayyaz Ahmad, Manager Events of TDCP particularly highlighted the fact that in addition to being a jeep rally, this is a premier event for south Punjab’s indigenous culture promotion. He further said that alongside the rally, a livestock show will also be held where certain species of camels, cows, and goats, which are found only in Cholistan will be exhibited. He particularly mentioned that Nachi goat, which is only found in Cholistan, is a must-see.
