Adorned with some interesting motifs, the single-domed Bibi Begni’s Mosque is located behind Shait Gumbad and makes for a lovely walk. To get here, walk anti-clockwise around Ghora Dighi pond. After entering a small forested area about 200m down the trail, you’ll see the mosque on your left. Chances are you’ll end up being led here by friendly village kids.
