Kankwari Fort
Located inside the precincts of the Sariska National Park, The Kankwari Fort offers great views from its ramparts. This fort is known in the channels of the history as the one where Aurangzeb imprisoned his elder brother Daea Shikoh for several years before having him beheaded.
The Fort of Kankwari stands witness to one such bloody battle between the two sons of The Mughal Emperor Shahejahan. Dara Shukoh, Shahejahan’s youngest son had used the Fort of Kankwari as his last hiding resort before fate caught up with him in the form of his brother Aurangzeb. This magnificent fort lies within the barriers of the Sanctuary around 25 Km from the entry point. The route to the fort is full of huge boulders and troughs throughout the way. The striking terrain of green landscapes and fertile meadows surrounding the fort create a pleasant welcome for the tourists.
