🏔️ Tourist Places
Jhelum, Rohtas
Rohtas Fort (Qila Rohtas) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in 1541 by Sher Shah Suri, the Afghan emperor who briefly ousted the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Located near Jhelum, Punjab, the fort sits on a rocky promontory overlooking the Kahan River and covers 70 hectares with 4 km of walls and 68 towers. It was never conquered by military force. The fort was built to suppress the Potohar Gakhar tribes loyal to the Mughals. Its Shishi Gate is one of the finest examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. UNESCO listed it in 1997.
