Kotla Nihang Khan Fort, Military fort in Punjab, India

The stone fort features defensive walls, watchtowers, and storage areas positioned on elevated ground for strategic military advantage over the surrounding region.

Built during the Sikh imperial period, the fort served as a strategic military base where Nihang Khan, an ally of Guru Gobind Singh, maintained control in 1688.

The fort maintains its connection to Sikh martial traditions through regular gatherings of Nihang warriors who practice traditional combat techniques within its grounds.

Visitors can reach the fort by local transport from Ropar city, with guided tours available during daylight hours from Monday through Saturday.

The fort's architecture incorporates specific chambers that were designed to store weapons and supplies, with hidden passages connecting different sections of the complex.
