Om
Snabba fakta: Inbäddad i en avlägsen Himalayadal i Himachal Pradesh tjänade denna massiva 1600-talsfästning en gång som en viktig knutpunkt på den antika Sidenvägens handelsrutt. Dess 2,5 kilometer långa ringmur omsluter en liten stad med tempel, spannmålsmagasin och en gömd flykttunnel som sträcker sig nästan en kilometer genom berget.
Höjdpunkter: Djupt inne i fästningsmurarna finns en hemlig tunnel på tre våningar som är uthuggen direkt i berget. Den var utformad så att hästar kunde rida genom den för en snabb flykt under belägringar. Besökare som går ner i den kolsvarta passagen kan fortfarande känna sval bergsluft strömma genom de gamla ventilationsschakten.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as the uneven stone staircases inside the fort can be slippery and steep.
- Carry a flashlight or use your phone torch to explore the dark escape tunnel its full length is surprisingly long and atmospheric.
- Climb to the highest watchtower near the western wall for unobstructed panoramic views of the valley and snow peaks.
- Arrive right when it opens to experience the fort before tour groups arrive especially during peak season from March to June.
