General Description

Hari Parbat is more than just a hill; it's a cultural hub, a historical treasure trove, and a peaceful retreat.

In 1623, Mughal Emperor Jahangir ordered the construction of the Hari Parbat Fort, a massive structure built for defense and to safeguard the city. The fort witnessed several historical events, including the Afghan invasion of Kashmir in the 18th century.
