Ranikot Fort (Sindhi: رني ڪوٽ, Urdu: قِلعہ رنی کوٹ) (also known as Rannikot) is a historical Talpur fort near Sann, Jamshoro District, Sindh, Pakistan. Ranikot Fort is also known as The Great Wall of Sindh and is believed to be the world's largest fort.
It was formerly believed that the fort was built during the regimes of the Sassanians, the Scythians, the Parthians or the Bactrian Greeks, however, more recent evidence shows that the fort originated under the Talpurs.
Rani Kot, Sindh Part 02 By Aziz Sanghur
Beside the Mohan Gate and the Sann Gate, there are two more gates, rather pseudo gates. One is towards the side of ancient town of Amri. This 'gate' is called the 'Amri Gate'. Certainly it takes its name from the prehistoric ruins of Amri, but it must have taken this name much later than the times of Amri as the fort itself doesn't appears to be as old as the Amri itself. In fact there is a bridge over rain stream 'Toming Dhoro' exiting from the fort called 'Budhi Mori'. The breach in fort wall due to the river stream has been referred as a gate. Similarly, the Shahpir Gate to the south also appears to be a pseudo gate taking its name from a limestone rock with a rough shape of foot imprinted on it. The sacred footprint supposedly belongs to Hazrat Ali or some other religious personality and is venerated by locals. It seems to be a later breach in the fort wall instead of a formal gate because one can't find any bastion or watchtower or their remains at the site, needed to guard any formal entrance or exit points.
A mosque found in the fort appears to be a later modification of a watchtower or a later construction. Scattered animal skeletons and prehistoric fossils can be found on the top of Lundi Hills. One of the three graveyards has about four hundred graves made of Chowkundi like sandstone with engraved motifs of sunflowers and peacocks. Whether we can call them as theriomorphic and phytomorphic motifs is an open question. Another one appears to be a graveyard of Arabs. The third one, about a mile away from the Sann Gate, had sixteen or seventeen graves earlier but now there are only four graves. The local inhabitants call it the Roman's graveyard.
Currently, only the Gabol Baloch tribe occupies the area within Ranikot. The area has become a virtual village for the Gabol's over the past century who earn their livelihood by offering tours to many of the visitors, as well as by small scale farming
Gorakh Hill - Dadu District - Sindh - Pakistan
Gorakh Hill
Gorakh is a Hill Station of Sindh, Pakistan. It is situated at an elevation of 5,689 ft (1,734 m) in the Kirthar Mountains, 94 kilometres (58 mi) northwest of Dadu city.
The Gorakh Hill station is situated 423 km from Karachi and nearly 8 hours driving distance. The Hill station attracts thousands of tourists each year.
The name Gorakh is derived from the Brahvi language in which, word Gurgh means Wolf and that Balochi language word Gurkh is later dialectic adaptation of Brahvi language word Gurgh, meaning wolf.
Different opinions have been given about the history and origin of the hill station. It is said that the great medieval saint, Sri Gorakhnath Ji, had extensively wandered in hills and the region. According to Nandu, an authority on Sanskrit, Gorakh is a Sanskrit word which means shepherding of sheep, cow and goat, etc.
Gorakh Hill Station is situated on one of the highest plateaus of Sindh, spread over 2,500 acres (10 km2) of land.
It is very attractive to nature-lovers owing to its temperate weather and beautiful surroundings.
Gorakh's elevation gives it a special climate, with sub-zero temperatures during winter and generally below 20 °C in summer, with about 120 mm of average annual rainfall.
The Government of Sindh is in the process of constructing a new road from Dadu to Gorakh Hill.
There is a rest house for visitors on the hill, which is a very basic one and there is a restuarant providing meals from morning until mid night.
Tourists can arrange their own transport from Sehwan Sharif to the hill station, a 4x4 is
recommended, which can be arranged from Wahi Pandi, the last town before the hills.

Rani Kot, Sindh Part 01 By Aziz Sanghur
Rani Kot is the world's largest fort with a circumference of about 26 km or 16 miles. Since 1993, it has been on the list of tentative UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
It is located in the Kirthar Range, about 30 km southwest of Sann, in Jamshoro District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is approximately 90 km north of Hyderabad.
It has an approximate diameter of 6 km. Its walls are on the average 6 meters high and are made of gypsum and lime cut sandstone and total circumference is about 20 km. While originally constructed for bow and arrow warfare it was later expanded to withstand firearms.
It is reputed to be the largest unexplored fort in the world. The purpose of its construction and the reason for the choice of its location are still unknown.
Ranikot is the most talismanic wonder of Sindh. Visible from five kilometers away its massive undulating walls twist and dip over the hills. With the circumference of about twenty kilometers, its walls, built with dressed sandstone and reinforced with 45 bastions along the outer wall, of which 7 are rectangular and the remaining are round. All modified through the ages to accommodate the use of gunpowder, this perhaps makes it the largest fort in the world.
The original purpose and architects of Ranikot Fort are unknown. Some archaeologists attribute it to Arabs, or possibly built by a Persian noble under the Abbasids by Imran Bin Musa Barmaki who was the Governor of Sindh in 836 CE. Others have suggested a much earlier period of construction attributing to at times the Sassanians Persians and at times to the Greeks. Despite the fact that a prehistoric site of Amri is nearby, there is no trace of any old city inside the fort and the present structure has little evidence of prehistoric origins.
Fort Ranikot is located in Lakki Mountains of the Kirthar range on the right side of the mighty River Indus at a distance of about 30 kilometers from the present day town of Sann. A mountainous ridge, Karo Takkar(Black Hill), running north to south, forms its western boundary and the 'Lundi Hills' forms its eastern boundary. Mohan Nai, a rain-stream enters the fort from its rarely used western 'Mohan Gate', where it is guarded by a small fortification, changes its name to 'Reni' or 'Rani Nai' or rain-stream and gives the fort its name. Ranikot is thus the 'fort of a rain stream' - Rani. It runs through it, tumbles in a series of turquoise pools to irrigate fields and leaves the fort from its most used 'Sann Gate' on the eastern side. It then travels about 33 kilometers more to enter the Lion River - Indus.
Rani Kot Sindh
Ranikot Fort (Sindhi: رني ڪوٽ, Urdu: قِلعہ رانی کوٹ) (also known as Rannikot) is a historical Talpur fort near Sann, Jamshoro District, Sindh, Pakistan.[2] Ranikot Fort is also known as The Great Wall of Sindh and is believed to be the world's largest fort,[3][4] with a circumference of approximately 32 kilometres (20 mi). The fort's ramparts have been compared to the Great Wall of China.[5]
The site was nominated in 1993 by the Pakistan National Commission for UNESCO world heritage status, and has since been on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[6] The fort is listed as a historical site under the Antiquities Act, 1975 and its subsequent amendments, and is provided protection
رنی کوٹ قلعہ (Ranikot Fort) ضلع جامشورو، سندھ، پاکستان میں ایک تاریخی قلعہ ہے۔[1] اسے عظیم دیوارسندھ (The Great Wall of Sindh) بھی کہا جاتا ہے۔ اس کا احاطہ تقریبا 26 کلومیٹر (16 میل) ہے۔[2] 1993ء سے یہ یونیسکو کی مجوزہ عالمی ثقافتی ورثہ فہرست میں شامل ہے۔
تاریخ
اس قلعے کی تعمیر کے بارے میں بہت سی قیاس آرائیاں ہیں۔ مگر یہ بات یقین سے نہیں کہی جاسکتی کہ قلعہء رنی کوٹ کی بنیاد کس نے اور کب رکھی تھی اور کس دشمن سے بچنے کے لیے رکھی تھی چونکہ یہ معلومات تاریخ کے اوراق میں دفن ہوچکی ہیں، شاید ہمیشہ کے لیے، تاہم محکمہء آثارِ قدیمہ کی کھدائی کے دوران ملنے والے اشارات سے پتہ چلتا ہے۔ کہ یہ دو ہزار سال سے بھی بہت پہلے تعمیر کیا گیا تھا، مگر حیرانی کی بات یہ ہے۔ کہ اس قلعے کا ذکر تاریخ میں صرف اس وقت سے ملتا ہے۔ جب میرپورخاص کے میر شیر محمد تالپور نے اٹھارویں صدی میں اس قلعے کی مرمت کروائی اور اس قلعے میں ایک اور چھوٹے قلعے 'میری' میں رہائش اختیار کی
