Say hel­lo to anoth­er of the most beau­ti­ful places in Pak­istan – this time a 16th-cen­­tu­ry fortress that’s recog­nised as a UNESCO World Her­itage Site. The Rohtas Fort is locat­ed near Jhelum in Pun­jab, which is about 4 hours from Lahore and 2 hours from Islam­abad.

The fortress is one of the largest in the Sub­con­ti­nent and has remained in remark­able con­di­tion despite its age. Hours can be spent roam­ing around the mas­sive struc­ture, a beau­ti­ful rel­ic that almost seems to trans­port vis­i­tors back in time.

It’s easy to get lost amongst the walls and gates for an entire day. Keep in mind that the fort charges an entrance fee of 500 rupees for for­eign­ers and 20 rupees for Pak­ista­nis.
