This fort is located in Khanpur Tehsil in the Cholistan, 46 km from Baal Fort, and about 91 km from Rahim Yar Khan. This fort is located very close to the border of India. On the side is the Indian city of Kishangarh. Dravida Fort is about 170 km from this fort.

Mirgarh Fort
This fort is at a distance of about 15 km from Fort Abbas. The high walls of this fort are made of mud. This fort is in a very dilapidated condition. And the Department of Archeology is in the spotlight. If this precious heritage is not protected, it will soon be erased from the face of the earth.

This fort is very close to the border of India and Pakistan and most of the Rangers visit here. Rangers want to make this fort safe but it requires a lot of money.

History At any place, there is an identity where old people used to live there. Traces of mythological times in new age. It's happy to see the old places at this new time and the people are living their lives in the old style with old technology and old thinking and in this way we get a lot of motivation to see them doing hard jobs with help of their own hands without using advanced tools.

A few years ago, I have also visited Derawar fort in Cholistan with family and friends this is a really amazing place to visit, at Derawar fort there are many chambers where the Nawab used to meet his several wives. The night view over there was also full of entertainment just because of the scary feelings🙄 and bonfire with a barbeque😍 party. This article reminds me of those beautiful moments I passed over there. Thank you for sharing an article that is also full of geographical knowledge.👍🏻
