Ramkot Fort is an ancient fort situated in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan
beside the Mangla Dam. It is accessible through boat, 13
kilometers away from Dina and 79 kilometers by road from
Mirpur, Azad Kashmir to Dadyal village. The fort is a 30 minute
walk from Dadyal.
Located on the summit of a hill, Ramkot Fort is built over the site
of an old Hindu Shiva temple. Three sides of this hilltop are
surrounded by the River Jhelum. During excavations, relics
of the 5th - 9th centuries AD have been discovered near one
of the temples. In the 16th - 17th centuries AD, the Muslim rulers
of Kashmir in safe-guarding their boundaries built numerous forts.
Ramkot, sitting near the confluence of the river Jhelum is one of
them. The Sikh Maharaja of Kashmir further fortified Ramkot.
