At the south end of town, a ₹100 autorickshaw ride from the bus stand, the impregnable-looking Kangra Fort soars on a high promontory of land between the Manjhi and Banganga Rivers. The fort was occupied by Hindu rajas, Mughal warlords and even the British (in 1846), before it was finally toppled by the earthquake of 1905. Head up through a series of gates and passages to the palace area at the top for views north to the mountains and south to the plains.
A small museum back near the entrance has stone carvings from temples inside the compound.
