    This historic fort, located on the left side of Bab e Khyber before entering Jamrud, was built by the Sikhs in 1836 AD. Its walls are approximately ten feet thick. In Pakistan, this fort is declared as a historical landmark. It should be opened to tourists, and repairs and improvements should be made.

    Another historic place just beside the Bab-e-Khyber. Breath taking views on a cloudy and rainy day. The weather is awesome on other days too as it gets windy in the evening and feels so majestic.

    Although this fort is now under control of Pak Army but still you can have some beautifull photos outside. The scenary is good and the view of fort from a distance is also worth capturing. Its very near to khyber pass so if you visit khyber pass you can also be able to visit this fort form outside and as I said can capture beatifull picture of mounatins as well.

    The Jamrud Fort is located beside Bab-e-Khyber at the entrance to the Khyber Pass from the Peshawar side in the tribal district of Khyber KPK, Pakistan. After death of Sardar General Hari Singh Nalwa Khalsa Sarkar Wazir Jawahar Singh nominated Sardar General Gurmukh Singh Lamba as chief administrative and military commander to restore and consolidate the Khalsa army gains. General Sardar Gurmukh Singh Lamba,nominated as chief Administrative & military commander to consolidate gains of Khalsa Sarkar. In October 1836, Jamrud was lost by the Afghan Durrani Empire and conquered by the Sikh Empire. Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa (1791-1837), the well-known Sikh general, proposed to build a big fort at Jamrud. The proposal was opposed; nevertheless the foundation of the fort that has survived was laid by General Hari Singh Nalwa on 6 Poh 1893 Sambat (18 December 1836) and the construction was completed in 54 days.[1][2] "Jamrud...noted for its fort built with 10 feet (3 m) thick walls c.1836 by the Sikh Hari Singh Nalwa, one of Ranjit Singh's generals, was originally named Fatehgarh to commemorate the Sikh victory over the disunited tribes."[3] Early in 1837, the Sandhawalia Jat ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh's (1790-1839) grandson, Prince Nau Nihal Singh, was to be married. Hari Singh Nalwa sent his forces to Lahore for this historic celebration. At this time, Mr Fast, an Englishman, previously in the service of the British India Government, passed through Jamrud on his way to Kabul. En route he encountered Mohammad Akbar Khan, son of Dost Mohammad Khan. When Akbar Khan learnt that the fort at Jamrud was unprotected, he decided to attack. The battle between the Afghans and the Sikhs was fought on 30 April 1837. The loss suffered in this battle by the Sikhs was indeed heavy. Hari Singh Nalwa had sent out an appeal for help to the Maharaja to dispatch reinforcements from Lahore post haste, however his letter was not forwarded to the Maharaja by the Dogra chiefs. Reinforcements could not reach in time and Nalwa laid down his life in the battlefield. When the reinforcements arrived, the Sikhs managed to hold the fort and force the Afghan forces to retreat back to Kabul.

    "Exploring the rich history of Jamrud Fort, Hari Singh – where tales of valor echo through time. Unveiling the legacy of this historic stronghold. #JamrudFort #HariSingh #HistoryUnveiled"

  • 5/5 Babrak Noor A. 3 months ago on Google • 34 reviews New
    Jamrud Fort, a historical gem shrouded in tales of the past, is said to have roots dating back over 500 years, attributed to the Sikh rule during their dominance in the Northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. While the specifics of its origins remain entrenched in local folklore, the fort now serves as a stronghold for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). Regrettably, Jamrud Fort stands inaccessible to the general public, veiled from sightseers and history enthusiasts. Its gates remain closed to casual visitors, emphasizing the need for prior arrangements or permissions from the relevant authorities for those eager to explore its historical significance. Although lacking open access, the fort echoes a remarkable historical narrative, symbolizing an era of power shifts and strategic fortification in the region. The scarcity of detailed information available to the public underscores the necessity of engaging historians or experts to unravel its intricate past and significance. The legacy of Jamrud Fort persists through oral traditions and tales passed down through generations, encapsulating the essence of a bygone era marked by military might and strategic dominance. Its current utilization by LEAs renders it an enigmatic and restricted landmark, reinforcing the importance of seeking official permissions before attempting to explore its historical corridors.
