Tour Details
Rohtas Fort is a strategic garrison situated near the modern city of Jhelum in north-east Pakistan. It was built by the Afghan king Sher Shah Suri along the so-called “old route” that leads from the north to the Punjab plains, with the intention of stopping the deposed Mughal Emperor Humayan from returning to his former kingdom. Humayan had previously been defeated by Sher Shah Suri at Chausa and fled to Iran, but he was concerned that Humayan’s restoration might be possible if he managed to return to the Punjab. Sher Shah Suri’s second concern was to punish and defeat the Gakkhar tribes who held control of the valley and were traditional allies of the Mughals.
 This fort is about km in circumference and the first example of the Indian Subcontinent’s effective amalgamation of Pashtun and Hindu architectures.The Fort is a complex of defensive works, including walls, bastions, gates, a small mosque and a haveli (private mansion). A village has developed within the walled compound.
