An ancient legacy of the Gurkha kings

Have you ever imagined the thrill of exploring an 800-year-old fort?

In the picturesque Solan district near Kasauli, Kuthar Fort awaits you to experience that thrill! Located just 33.5 km from Solan, this ancient fort is a captivating testament to the grandeur of the Gurkha Kings who once ruled this land.

As you explore its sprawling 52.8 sq km grounds, you’ll discover enchanting gardens, freshwater springs, and even ancient temples! If you venture across the fort’s lush surroundings, you will also find scenic gems like Kunihar, the Gurkha fort of Subathu, and Kasauli. Kuthar Fort promises an unforgettable experience that invites you to step back in time and immerse yourself in its beauty.

Once a royal residence

Perched at a breathtaking altitude of about 1,300 meters, Kuthar Fort boasts panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of Shimla, the historic Subathu Fort, and a sprawling scene of the Himalayas that will leave you in awe.

As you approach the fort, you'll be captivated by its stunning Rajasthani architecture, a true testament to the artistry of Rajputana. The striking colonnades, intricately carved pillars, and graceful arches invite you to wander through history. Step inside, and you'll discover a treasure trove of intricate wooden carvings and paintings that transport you to an era of royal grandeur.

Originally the residence of the royal family, the fort holds stories of valour and splendour in its ancient walls. Today, it has been transformed into a spectacular heritage site, with part of it now serving as a royal resort for those seeking a taste of royal life. Imagine sipping tea in the same halls where kings once walked!
