The Fort looks an impressive structure from a distance, very imposing on the skline. Unfortunately close up it doesn't live up to expectations. Quite a long winding drive up. Security check, FOREIGNERS PASSPORTS, then walk a few hundred metres uphill over slightly unkempt grounds. Nothing in the castle itself on the history of the place and it's uncared for appearance is evident. Renovation work is going on but at the moment it's a sad sight.

Hariparbhat is a wonderful fort. It has sarika ma temple at the base. Srichakra is engraved on a huge rock. On top of the fort, there is sikh dargah, durga temple & masjid. It has amazing views on the way & from the top. Worth the visit

The first fortifications on the site were constructed by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1950. He built an outer wall for the fort, and planned a new capital called Nager Nagor to be built within the wall. That project was never completed. The present fort was built by Afgan governor Atta Mohammad Khan in 1808 during the reign of Shuja Shah Durrani. It has the famous Muslim Shrines of Khwaja Makhdoom Sahib and Akhund Mullah Shah on the southern slope and a Shakti Temple on the western slope. On the southern side of the outer wall is a Gurudwara, which commemorates the visit of Guru Hargobind.
The gods invoked Shakti who assumed the form of a hari (myna) and flew to Sumer, picked up a pebble in her beak and threw it on Chand. The pebble grew into a mountain, crushed the demon and was later named Hari Parbat ("The Myna Mountain").
Hari Parbat, also called Koh-i-Maran, is a hill overlooking Srinagar, the largest city and the capital of the Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is 17 km from Srinagar railway station and 6.5 km from Lalchowk if you come by car. Please carry your Identification as this is guarded by army and they would ask for Aadhar or any form of identification at the foot hill and when you enter the main gate. There is a beautiful restaurant right outside the fort "MileStone" but it was closed when i visited. The drive from foothill to top of fort is serene and filled with natural beauty. You do need to take a stroll and walk from gate to fort entrance so better wear sports shoes for comfort.
This site is maintained by Archeological Survey of India and in my personal opinion it can be maintained better.

The place is managed by defence personnels. Please be careful in taking pictures as this place has army installations. the upper section of the hill houses the fort which will surely take your breath away, once you climb to the last step.
The view from here is great and gives a panoramic look. Srinagar city & dal lake looks great from the top. this place has a huge National flag that was recently (2021 August) installed. A good place to venture out and seen and feel 300+ year old heavy wooden doors.

Located at top of the hill in downtown Srinagar, this fort is a good place to enjoy the whole city from above. No ticket booth on the spot. We bought it at Makhdoom Sahib Ropeway, and the ticket man went along with us to the fort to open the main gate.

The big mountain near Nigeen lake in Srinagar is called Hari Parbat. There is an old Fort built by Mughals is in the hill top. One has to walk upto the top Fort. The entrance of the Fort is a big Gate structure called Kathi Darvaza. You could also find a Gurudwrara and Mathaji temple (the wooden windows of the temple is beautiful)

I went to Hari Parbat. The majestic mountain overlooking the city of Srinagar is called Hari Parbat. Besides the famous Hari Parbat fort, the mountain also has various shrines dedicated to several deities, the most prominent of which is Sharika Devi Temple enshrined by Goddess Jagadamba Sharika Bhagwati. It is great place to go.
