Ramkot Fort Photo Gallery by Gharib Hanif at pbase.com

Ramkot Fort

Ramkot Fort was constructed around 16-17th century AD to protect the area around old Mirpur. The fort is situated on the confluance of rivers Jhelum and Poonch which now forms part of Mangla Dam. The fort can be reached from Mirpur by boat taking approx. 40 mins. Alternatively, driving to Dadyal and then Bathher Baeli provides a dry route, although there is a short walk involved. The fort is open to visitors and efforts are in place to provide better facilities. Find it on Google Earth (you must have Google Earth installed)

Mirpur always reminisces of my early childhood discussions of the land where in my revered mother spent her early part of her childhood &did her matriculation from Mirpur Govt. high school in in 1945 . how blissful life was in old Mirpur and Hindus & Muslims lived in peace & harmony in those times not like today when religion is tearing apart the civilizations.

Great photos. I wish the government has brains to safeguard this treasure. We are going on a photographic trip to Ramkot in few days. Your pictures are inspiring. Well Done

Gharib Hanif		18-Dec-2011 19:35
No, the fort is on the Mangla Dam/Lake. It can be reached by boat from Mirpur; I believe the people running the fort are running some kind of shuttle service from Mirpur. There is alo a dry route through Dadyal. From Dadyal, you have to drive out to a village called Bathar and park your car there. From Bathar you have to walk about a mile to reach Ramkot Fort.

Aamir mirza		18-Dec-2011 16:41
Ramkot fort is located in Mangla about 115kms from pindi. Can only reach there by boat. Boat can be hired from army water sports club at mangla. You only need to reach mangla,where every required thing is available.

I request to those who have visited this place , to provide as much information as possible regarding, how to get there? what is available there and what to take along? any safety recommendations, it will be helpful for people like me plan a trip and visit this remarkable place.

Rehan		23-Oct-2011 08:28
im not sure how old these pics r but lately i herd tht this fort is about to become a victim of the Mangla Dam's expansion......the other thing which frustrates me is there is no history recorded of such spectacular places which r quiet abundant in our country bt fall prey to neglect & corruption due to lack of information & knowledge upon their history.....Such ancient architect r our heritage & we have an obligation to protect these, kindly educate others (esp the natives) & teach them to protect them from vandalizing, littering, & wall-chalking.....its our common responsibility & thank u for the magnificent work with these snaps & much appreciate the efforts to make it available to all of us across the globe......if u have more such upon other places then appreciate if u can intimate me on the email provided

ali raza		13-Oct-2011 05:30
IS THERE ANY ARRANGEMENT BY TOURISM DEPARTMENT TO VISIT THIS REMARKABLE PLACE FROM LAHORE?

I am surprised that such a beautiful landscape remained ommitted from me despite my 4 times visits of Belhi Bathar . I think that I have to revisit the Behli Bathar just to have a visit of Ramkot fort.

Exceptional! Please promote this place on web!

I agree when people are seeing all of these great and interesting places slowly slipping away into the dust. I was very glad when I was able to see many of these placees when I was in Pakistan in the 1960's. Even then so much had already deteriorated. These are places where history was made and should be the roots of the history and source of pride for many families. The Persian, Palistani, Indian and Afgan people should be able to showcase their countries as proudly as the Western World countries. I often beleive this these are the true issues of disagreement and wars. Please stabilize your country so that I may be able to safely visit and appreciate your history again 0344 4443935

Alot of places like these are just being in the process of wastage............Government is sleeping.................watching dreams of Huge Palaces................

Its Appalling & Disgusting to see such Beautiful Landmarks & Historical Heritage left in RUINS. Pakistans Government dont show any interest in these Sites, if these FORTS were in England they would play an Important Role in English Heritage. Pakistan Dont even care as to Develop, Progress, Attract Tourism they Still live on Energy which was Constructed by The English (i.e. Mangla Dam) Railway line again thanks to England. Bring back the English Maharaj to make Pakistan Beautiful as Europe & Kashmir as Heaven or let Iran take over to Practice True Islam as Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto said.

Syed F. H. Shah		29-Jan-2008 04:37
I feel sorry thta Govt of Azad Kashmir has no respect and consideration for such ancient land marks and historical and cultural heritages and is not doing anything for the protection, preservation and promotion as a tourist attraction. Perhaps we don't realise the value of such buildings which are part of history. It is high time that the AJK Govt ensures to promote tourism industry and high lights all tourist attraction land marks and places of interest for the foreign visitors. We can earn reasonable foreign exchange by encouraging tourism. Syed F. H. Shah ( Abu Dhabi )
