Bhimgarh Fort, Medieval fortification in Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Bhimgarh Fort is a fortification on a hillock in Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir, featuring stone walls, watchtowers, and multiple defensive structures arranged across its site. The structure shows layers of different building periods and combines religious and military elements throughout its layout.

Raja Bhimdev Rasyal built the initial clay structure in the 8th century, while Maharaja Gulab Singh added stone fortifications and a new gate in 1817. This transformation marked the shift from an early structure to a reinforced fortress with enhanced defensive features.

The fort's name means "Fort of Bhim", after Raja Bhim Dev, who founded the medieval Bhimgarh kingdom. Local tradition holds that its design followed the 24 Rajput forts of Chittorgarh type in Rajasthan. The outer gate was originally painted with inscriptions in the Rajasthani language, and statues of Hanuman and Mahakali stand at the inner gate.

The fort sits roughly 72 kilometers from Jammu and about 24 kilometers from Katra, making it accessible from either starting point. Visitors should expect basic facilities and can arrange guided tours once they arrive.

The Geological Survey of India reported in 2023 an inferred reserve of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in the vicinity of the fort, a figure that drew national attention to Reasi. The deposit lies near the hillock rather than inside the walls.
