Places to See
Fort Highlights (1.5 Acres): Main entrance (East-facing) is broken. See a remaining bastion! Find canons: one near the entrance (half buried), one on "Holicha Mal," and a third in the village field. Look for old mansion plinths and a dried water tank. The path narrows toward another bastion. Partial walls remain. Residences stood on the mountaintop.
