Situated on the banks of the River Poonch, Poonch is a charming city of Jammu and Kashmir that promises a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Pir Panjal Mountain Range. Poonch is not only known for its natural beauty but also its rich historical significance. With a population of approximately 85,000, the city offers a serene escape to its residents and visitors alike.

Poonch Fort is a magnificent landmark in the historic city of Poonch, known for its grand architecture that reflects a blend of different ruling styles. Built on a small hill, the fort spans an area of 7,500 square meters, with structures arranged around four unique courtyards. The original structures date back to the 18th century when the Dogra rulers laid the foundation, but the main buildings show strong Mughal influences that add to the fort's charm. Later, during the Sikh rule, more structures were added, creating a beautiful fusion of architectural styles from these three dynasties. In the late 19th century, Raja Moti Singh took special interest in preserving the fort's unique look, hiring a European architect to manage its renovations. Within the fort's grounds, there are a small mosque, a temple, and a Gurudwara, highlighting the area's diverse cultural history. Although damaged by an earthquake in 2005, the state of Jammu and Kashmir has worked hard to restore this architectural marvel, making Poonch Fort a prime tourist attraction that celebrates the rich histories of Indian rulers.
