Bukkur Fort is an island located in Rohri, Sukkur District, Pakistan. Named Bukkur (Dawn) by Sayyid Muhammad Al-Makki in the seventh century of Hijri, this island is a limestone rock, oval in shape, 800 yards (730 m) long by 300 yards (270 m) wide, and about 25 feet (7.6 m) in height.......................

It is a small island in River Indus located between the towns of Sukkur and Rohri. The island, which is irregular in shape, is about 2 furlong broad in the North-South directions and 4 furlong long in the East-West directions. The entire island falls within the Fort as the fortification wall runs on the outer periphery of the island, touching the Indus water around. The western portion is inhabited and has backs and parade ground devoid of any monument except for a shrine and ruined mosque, but there are indications that this part once contained many buildings, etc. as the whole area is littered with brick-bats, pottery shreds, and heaps of earth collected over, collapsed structures. The fortification wall, which used to go around the entire island, has disappeared except for a few portions here and there and on the southern and north-western side. It is made from burnt brick tiles of 12”x12”x21½” size, though there are many different sizes of bricks that have been used in it, probably for repair purposes. A number of bastions of semi-circular and elliptical shapes are still standing there. Also, along with them can be seen gate-ways of different sizes that are now looked with rubble. The fortification wall is about 5’ thick, but at places, it reduces to only 2’ but at places, it is only 10’ high. The railway line divides this into two equal parts. The western part has only two buildings, one modern shrine or tomb, and the other is a mosque built of burnt bricks in mud. The eastern part, however, only contains foundations of walls here and there. STDC

This Fort has remained the capital of Sindh for centuries. Once it was a marvellous structure featuring the Darbar, a palatial building n quarters for soldiers, artisans, skilled labour, Akhunds(teachers) n Qazis(Judges). Now the Fort has been encroached by the Janbaz Force illegally n no local or foreign tourist is allowed to visit this historical place. Even it hasn't been placed on the list of historical sites issued by the government. There's also the Shrine of Hazra Sadruddin Shah who was a contemporary Sufi Saint Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. Remains of the Fort has been demolished n badly damaged by the Janbaz Force n historical records have been destroyed. Government of Sindh must arrange vacation of this heritage n restore its historical importance. Local n foreigner tourists should be allowed n encouraged to visit this old capital of Sindh. Such efforts will generate a lot of revenue for the country n highlight the soft image of Pakistan.

Beautiful view of the Lansdowne bridge in Sukkur. Service was excellent. Maintenance of the Guest house could be improved.

A very Good space for an evening sitting. Family place . Sunset can make your evening superb . Recommend to witness sunsets.

Please post your photographs of Bukkur (Bakhar) Fort. I am a specialist in medieval Islamic cartography and I believe that this is a really important site. I would like to see more pictures. It needs expert archaeological work and definitely that fort needs to be restored.

Great but Bukkar fort walls need to be rebuilt at many places,as it's a sand and soil ,tie with lime stone,marble pieces and utensils pieces and local rocks bounded by Small bricks, so if rain,land sliding is too quick at places where historical wall is broken. Nothing special inside Fort now, except a view points.beautiful views and Great climate.

Nice
