About the direction from Larkana
Larkana is west of the Indus in Sindh. Its coordinates differ from nearby Sukkur, so this page calculates a separate bearing rather than borrowing the direction from another city.
How to face 263° in Larkana

- Turn clockwise from north by 263°. For reference, due east is 90°, south 180°, west 270°.
- If you use a magnetic compass, adjust for local magnetic declination; NOAA's declination calculator gives the current value for Larkana.
