The Rawat Fort, located on the Grand Trunk Road near Rawalpindi, is a 16th-century fortress with both military and spiritual significance. Believed to have been built by the Gakhar chiefs to guard trade routes, it later became the burial site of Sultan Sarang Khan, a local hero who resisted Sher Shah Suri. The fort’s massive gateways and bastions still evoke a sense of ancient valor.
Within its walls lie old mosques, courtyards, and graves — silent witnesses to centuries of warfare and devotion. Though partially in ruins, the site’s rugged charm captivates historians and explorers alike. It stands as a testament to Punjab’s medieval resilience.
Efforts are underway to restore Rawat Fort as a protected heritage site. Its mix of strategic history and spiritual legend makes it an unmissable stop for those exploring Pakistan’s historical heartland.
