Whilst in Dharamshala we visited Kangra and its fort, an amazing structure on a hilltop which according to history remained undefeated by the Moguls. There are a lot of steps to walk up so if you are less mobile, do give this a miss. The views from the top of the fort are amazing. We also saw some ancient carvings of deities etched into stone. A special place to visit steeped in history.

We climbed this fort on a very hot day and time (38 degree Celsius), hence probably found this a lot more tiring. Having said that the fort has a chequered history and the audio guide was helpful in understanding the fort much better. Most of the fort is in ruins which adds to the charm.

We have visited Kangra Fort with 10 and 3 years old, and whatever I say is not enough. It's not a place for fuzzy people who have high expectations but for calm and peace lovers. We visited this Fort, especially for Aadinath temple at top, which is almost 4000 years old. Though Fort is not in great condition after the earthquake, it's still a good place to view. You must go if you have children who are fond of rich history.
