Arror Rock, also called Neh Takkar or Chattan Shah ji Takri, is located near Rohri in Sindh. The shape of rock was caused by unknown natural forces. Similar shaped rocks are usually formed by huge powerful waves near the sea. However, the structure in the middle of barren land at Arror is a wonder. There is also a Shrine on the top.

According to one of the legends, a Muslim warrior cut the rock into four pieces using it as a shield to win a battle for Kalka Devi, whose mandir is not far from this rock. At the foot of the Rock , lies a 10-foot-long grave. Locals believe that the grave belongs to the same warrior who cut the rock into four halves. Another legend believes that the grave is of a companion of Hazrat Ali, incidentally named Ali as well.

This mysterious rock can be a challenging climb for many. A small staircase takes you to the first level but then you have to crouch to climb further. After a while you can stand on your feet but the climb becomes steeper and you have to jump over the parts where rock is cut into the parts mysteriously. The view from the top is breathtaking, looking into the emptiness of Arror on one hand and green fields fueled by the water of Indus on the other side.
