Worlds Largest Fort Ranikot-World Tourism Day Tour (Episode 6)

Every one knows The Great wall of china but there are also another The Great wall in Pakistan which is

very much similar with Great wall of China but No body knows about this wall even in Pakistan this wall is
almost 21 Km long this wall is of Rani kot fort Sindh The Rani kot fort in Sindh is believed to be the

largest fort of World.It has approximately 32 km circumference.

The original purpose of Ranikot Fort and it’s founders are unknown. It was formerly believed that the fort was built during the regimes of the Sassanians, the Parthians or the Bactrian Greeks, however, more recent evidence shows that the fort originated under the Talpurs
Archaeologists estimated the 17th century as the time of its first construction but now conclude the present structures were reconstructed by Talpurs in 1812 but still it’s not 100% confimed

For all Tour of World Tourism Day

It was my biggest tour of 4500 km and I cover 50 + Tourist attractions in ten days on world tourism day

with my tourist and biker club Cross route International before this I have posted 5 episodes and it is 6th episode.

Best season to visit this fort is from November to March There are 6 more small fortress in this big fort Miri fort is accessible easily by car and bike other fortress are on Mountains and not accessible easily.

The site was on the tentative list of UNESCO world heritage sites since 1993. This fort is situated 122 km distance from Hyderabad and last 30 km are on small road. On this road you will not find any shop

or restaurant so must keep water and food with you in fort there are a guest house where you can take
food and water. But I am afraid that all the time they have every thing.

Hello @Muhammad_Usman ,

Thank you for sharing your photos. I have never heard of the Great Wall of Pakistan. It was interesting for me to read about it, especially when I learned that Rani Kot fort is one of the largest forts in the world. What other tourist attractions did you visit?
