Allahabad Fort is on the banks of Yamuna river in Allabahad in Uttar Pradesh.
If you are ready for a journey back in time, Allahabad Fort the majestic structure built by none other than the Mughal emperor Akbar himself takes back to 1583.
As you approach the fort, you’ll be struck by its impressive outer walls, rising above the Yamunas water’s edge. But the real treat lies within. The fort is home to the Zenana, a palace fit for royalty, and the Mariam-uz-Zamani palace. If history is your thing, you’ll be thrilled to know that the fort also houses the 3rd century BC Ashoka Pillar and the ancient Saraswati Koop, said to be the source of the Saraswati river. And let’s not forget the Patalpuri temple, a sacred spot for religious folks.
Unfortunately, the fort is currently used by the army and only a limited area is open to visitors. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! You can still catch a glimpse of the fort’s grandeur by taking a boat ride on the Yamuna.
Trust us, the views are worth it. And who knows, you might even spot a few army personnel in action. So pack your bags and head to Allahabad for a unique and exciting experience at the Allahabad Fort.
