In the plaque given above, some details of the life of Sahibzada Abdul Hakim are written. But unfortunately, no dates are given. The interior of the fort is also well preserved. Some pictures are given below.
The writer. (30.04.2023.)
The fort was built on easy-to-defend ground, with three sides covered by deep gorges and a valley. Each side is more or less 30 meters in length, and the fort covers an area of approximately a quarter of an acre. It is heartening to see the fort in such good condition. One reason could be the tomb of Saint Sahibzada Abdul Hakim, located inside the fort. The condition of the fort clearly indicates that the fort is well-maintained and repaired from time to time.
The fort is situated in a picturesque area, very beautiful, and a good trip can be planned in pleasant weather. A good place for sightseeing and picnicking.
