Shahpur Kandi Fort (7 Km from Pathankot)
Shahpur Kandi Fort, 7 Km from Pathankot: This 16th century fort nestles at the foot of the towering Himalayas and overlooks the river Ravi. Is a comfortable rest-house now.
It was built in 16th century by Bhao Singh, who named it after the Emperor Shah Jahan. The little town of Shahpur is located on the left bank of the Ravi River. The fort now functions as a rest house.
Some Muslim Tombs and a mosque are sighted near the fort. There is a typical old stone tank just outside the village.
