Considered
as a historical monument of
Srinagar , Hari
Parbat Fort was constructed by the Afghan Governer, Atta Mohammad Khan, on
the top of the Hari Parbat or Koh-e-Maraan hill. The architecture of this
fort has a very close similarity to that of the forts in Central Asia. On
the opposite bank of the Tawi river, at an upland plateau, is situated the
majestic Bahu Fort. Looking at the fort, one can imagine the wars fought,
invasions prevented and even the grandeur the royal family must have
enjoyed once upon a time. Amar Singh Palace is a sight to behold. This
grand palace in Jammu reminds one of a dreamy French castle, with sloping
roofs and tall towers. Another palace worth checking out is the
Leh Palace in
Ladakh , which very
much resembles the famed Potala of Lhasa.
