It is easily visible from the city entrance near the Sibi Junction and can be accessed via town road from main city.
What to Expect
The fort has mostly vanished over time and only a small portion remains which is currently under the administration of Pakistan Army. To access the fort, prior permission from the Army is required. However, the outside boundaries can be easily accessed and the watch towers are located near the main wall which are a good tourist attraction.

The tribe came into conflict with the Lashari Tribe and the ensuing war lasted for 30 years. During this time the fort was created and used as the capital of his state. After the conclusion of the war, Chakar Rind left the city and moved to Punjab. Over the years most of the fort has vanished due to poor management and maintenance.
