It is easily visible from the city entrance near the Sibi Junction and can be accessed via town road from main city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>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.
