Shigar Fort

Shigar Fort, also known as Fong Khar, is a historic fort located in the Shigar Valley near Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Dating back over 400 years, this beautifully restored fort stands as a symbol of Baltistan’s rich cultural heritage and traditional architecture. Built by the rulers of the Amacha Dynasty, Shigar Fort blends Tibetan, Balti, and Kashmiri architectural styles, making it one of the most iconic heritage sites in northern Pakistan. Surrounded by majestic mountains and lush valleys, the fort now serves as a museum and heritage hotel, offering visitors a unique glimpse into royal life, history, and culture.
