About the direction from Sukkur
Sukkur sits on the Indus in northern Sindh. The river bends through the area, so its banks are not a reliable east-west reference. Use the city-center coordinates and compass bearing shown here.
How to face 263° in Sukkur
- Find true north using a phone compass that reports true heading or a map aligned to north.
- 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 Sukkur.
