The tour is well organised by maqsood. We were shown around all of the Fort and given the history and explanation of each part of the fort. The transportation was great and comfortable. Maqsood spent a lot of time with us in the fort and we had enough time to take many pictures and content.
Excellent visit to Rohtas Fort - an unmissable stop when visiting Islamabad. I had Ghulam as my guide for a second day and again he took great care of me. We even had a really nice lunch on the way back from Rohtas, along with some of the best chai I have had on this trip.
Rohtas fort is an incredible sight. The structure is beautiful and offers great views of the surrounding landscape. My guide was knowledgeable and shared the history of the fort and how its usage changed while various peoples ruled the land it stands on. A great experience
