Derawar Fort
A visit to the Derawar Fort
requires a three to four-hour long trip with a four-wheel vehicle, but those
with a soft spot for military structures won’t regret the journey. Found in the
middle of nowhere, miles into the Cholistan
Desert, the awe-inspiring Derawar Fort, built in 1733, dominates the landscape, and is characterized by a unique ensemble of 40 massive, largely
intact bastions set all along the four walls. The ramparts rise about 30 meters
above the ground, and the fort has an impressive circumference of 1.5
kilometers. Visiting the fort’s interiors requires a special permission by
local authorities, and may not be worth the trouble of going through such
process: the imposing bastions are in fact the real attraction of this striking
landmark. While on site, however, visitors might also enjoy taking a look at
the nearby mosque, an almost exact replica of the Moti Mosque right outside
Delhi’s Red Fort.
