Skardu Fort or Kharpocho: The fort was originally the residence of the Rajas of Skardu who find their descent from a fakir. The fort was built by the king Ali Sher in the end of the sixteenth century. General Zorawar Singh of the Dogra Rajput clan working under Maharaja Gulab Singh realized the importance of the fort's location in the town and so he occupied the fort. It was part of his many military campaigns to annex the areas of Baltistan to the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. The fort was razed to the ground in 1857 under the guidance of Ranbir Singh. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb also tried to occupy the fort, which went in vain. During the First Indo-Pakistani War, Pakistani platoons were deployed inside the fort to protect the local people. The Gilgit Scouts laid siege to the fort to force a garrison stationed there to enter the conflict. On 11 February 1948, Indian forces battled with the Skardu garrison of the fort. After a six-hour-long battle between the two the attackers retreated.
