The fort, located in the tribal district of Khyber KPK, stands proudly beside Bab-e-Khyber, a historic gateway that once marked the easternmost limit of the Mughal Empire. This bygone era image, estimated to be from the 1870s to the early 1900s, showcases the grandeur and rich history of this ancient fortress.

As you explore the intricacies of this vintage photograph, you can almost hear the whispers of history, inviting you to delve deeper into the stories of this fascinating place. Whether you're an armchair traveler or planning an adventure of your own, this image is a must-see for anyone with a passion for history, culture, and the great outdoors.
