Gagron Fort (Jal Durg)

The glorious Gagron fort is a fine example of 'Jal Durg' or 'Water fort', which is one of the nine types of durgs or forts, mentioned in the Hindu Shastras.

The foundation of this magnificent fort was laid in the 7th century and was completed by 14th century. It is surrounded on three sides by the waters of Ahu and Kali Sindh rivers and from its impregnable ramparts a breathtaking view can be enjoyed. Outside the fort is the Dargah of sufi saint Mitthe Shah, where a fair is held every year during the month of Moharram. Nearby is a monastery of saint Pipa, a contemporary of the famous saint Kabir.
