Today, he is best remembered for the Jehangir Kothari Parade, an elevated sandstone walkway used to walk to Clifton Beach, in Karachi, Pakistan, on the Arabian Sea.

[7][8] He published his reminiscences of his first voyage of 1883/4 when he traveled to Europe, Great Britain, United States of America, Canada, Japan, China, Straits Settlements, and northern portions of India.

[2] Kothari demolished his house on Clifton Hill in 1907, and at that site he built a magnificent pavilion, parade and pier, which he bequeathed to the people of Karachi to enjoy.

Inspired by this generosity, Kavasji Hormusji Katrak built and gave to the people of Karachi the grand bandstand which looms over the cliff.

[9] Kothari was awarded the gold Kaisar-i-Hind Medal (first class) on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar to commemorate the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911.
