    The largest fort in the Himalayas and probably the oldest dated fort in India. If you are a history lover, This is a Must visit place if you are at Dharamshala or McLeodganj. Pretty clean and a great place to relax as well

    Well without the history or the stories, these are just bricks and walls and nothing else. So I highly suggest you take the audio guide for 200bucks and learn what the real fort was. A fort, a treasury, a home and an excellent view point to the history. All this whilst have the majestic Dhauladar ranges in the back. To quote the audio "one who rules the fort rules the ranges"

    Wonderful place... If time permits do watch the sunset from the top of the fort. ... Breathtaking view.. Although it's a bit difficult to reach the top.. But it would be a life long memory if one takes the pain to climb the top.

    What a wonderfully maintained museum. Unfortunately, the fort was left in ruins after a disastrous earthquake in 1905... but one can experience what it could have been in all it's glory, after taking a walk through the Kangra Fort Museum! Another thing I liked alot was the information written in Braille script infront of all the artifact. Kudos to the efforts taken by the Archeological Survey of India.
