About

Shergarh Fort is a historical structure dating back to the 16th century and showcases considerable stone masonry architecture. Situated in Manshera district of Khyber Pakhtunkwa, Pakistan, this fort stands on an approximately 800-foot high plateau within dense forests near Malhipur village. The approach can be challenging due to its location at the base of a hill and along the banks of Durgavati River; however, during April through October—the best seasons for visiting Shergarh Fort — navigating becomes more accessible as paths clear up from spring rains or cooler autumn weather conditions.
