Rohtas Fort Tour (Day Trip from Islamabad) 2024-25 – 01 Day
Rohtas Fort Tour is a good option if you are in Islamabad for multiple days and if you have interest in culture, history and heritage. Rohtas Fort owes its origins to the 16th century, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Sher Shah Suri. The fort’s construction was initiated in 1541 as a strategic response to consolidate power and maintain control over the region following Sher Shah’s victory over the Mughal Empire. The imposing fortress was intended to serve as a military stronghold, a garrison for troops, and a reminder of Suri’s dominance. Rohtas Fort Tour is a sightseeing tour guided by Apricot Tours.
