Manghopir or Mangopir (Urdu: منگھوپیر‎) is one of the neighbourhoods of Gadap Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1]

Manghopir is a rural area of the large city of Karachi and was named after Sufi Pir Haji Syed Sakhi Sultan. The area has the oldest Sufi shrines in the city, hot sulphur springs that are believed to have curative powers, and many crocodiles - believed locally to be the sacred disciples of Pir Mangho.[2] Balochs often call this place as ‘Mangi’ or Garm-aab / Sard-aab (due to the presence of the hot & cold springs).[citation needed]
