Bahu Fort is located at an upland plateau on the opposite bank of the Tawi river. It is the oldest fort and edifice in the city. Constructed originally by Raja Bahulochan over 3,000 years ago, the exciting fort was more recently improved and rebuilt as the Mondi Palace by the Dogra rulers. There is a temple dedicated to goddess Kali inside the fort.
Looking at the fort, one can imagine the wars fought, invasions prevented and the grandeur the royal family mush have enjoyed once upon a time. Presently, the fort is surrounded by lush green terraced gardens, waterfalls and flowers of just about every kind and colour. A favourite picnic spot for the cityfolk, tghe old palace is now converted into high court.
