Gurkha Castles

In the history of Himachal Pradesh, one finds a mention of the Gurkha rulers also. Gurkhas gained control over some princely states of Himachal and ruled them until 1815, when British drove them away from the region. Gurkha forts and castles are reminiscent of their regime and form an important part of the architectural heritage of the state. One can still find these monuments, some still standing strong and some in ruins, in Bilaspur, Shimla, Sirmour and Solan districts, as evidences of Gurkha presence in the region.

Dhar Mountain Fort
Situated on top of Dhar Mountain, at an altitude of about 7000 ft above the sea level, Dhar Mountain Fort now stands mostly in ruins. It is about 200 years old and was built to commemorate the victory of Gurkhas over the state of Bhagat. The main entrance of the fort faces east and leads to a gallery-like hall, with a water tank in the center. The upper storey has a very low ceiling, which was meant to allow the soldiers to fight the enemies in a crawling position while being protected against them. To the east of the third hall is a dark oval shaped room.

Malaon Castle
Malaon Castle, built by Amar Singh Thapa, is situated near Nalagarh, in Solan district. He built it as he advanced to expand his territory into the western hill states. In 1915, his Major General, Bhakti Thapa, was killed and defeated at the hands of the British Army, led by Major General David Ochterlony. The Major then forced Amar Singh Thapa to leave Ramgarh Fort and find a sanctuary at Malaon Castle.

Gurkha Fort of Banasar
Another Gurkha Fort is situated near the village of Banasar, situated at a distance of 22 km from the Kalka-Shimla National Highway. The Gurkha Fort of Banasar is more than 150 years old.

Gurkha Fort of Subathu
Gurkha Fort of Subathu is approximately 70 km from Malaon. One of its most popular attractions comprise of the cannons that were once used at Malaon Fort. These cannons are more than 180 years old and are now used by the 14 Gurkha Training Center of the Indian Army.
