Chiktan

Chiktan Fort

Deep inside a valley, by the raging Indus, with the mountains in the background, stand the stones of a fort that was. Not much of fort is left as it is merely stones stacked up one one another now. Historically significant, today the significance is no more than a landmark in the far distance.  Built by Pakistani craftsmen in the 16th century, today the neglect and natural forces have reduced the fort to rubble.

The fort is located in the village of Chiktan in Kargil in India.
