Rohtas
Jhelum is located at the base of the Potowar Range, overlooking the endless green fields of the Punjab. Alexander the great crossed the river at this place and fought with Raja Poras, whom the famous quotation is related to, when he answered the Alexander,
“As a king would treat a king”
The famous Rohtas Fort, built by Sher Shah Suri is also located here which, is still standing against all odds. only 7 Km drive from Grand Trunk Road to this gigantic fort. Founded on steep rocks jutting into the river Kahan. Sher Shah Suri named Qila Rohtas after the famous Rohtasgarh Fort in Shahabad district near Baharkunda, Bihar which he captured from the Raja of Rohtas Hari Krishan Rai in 1539.
Sher Shah Suri died before the completion of this magnificent structure.
A Day trip to this place is always a delight, specially in winters when mists are around. Here is what I saw on the North-West side of the Fort. Its hard to visit all the fort in one day.
Dedicated to Amer Raja a.k.a Rohtas... A friend from Jehlum, Pakistan.
