Pakka Khanpur Fort, also known as Sarai Pakka Khanpur, is a ruined fort situated in Gujar Khan Tehsil, Punjab, Pakistan.
History
Pakka Khanpur Fort was built under the rule of Sher Shah Suri between 1537 and 1538. The fort played a crucial role in managing the conflict with the Gakhars, a local tribe situated in Pharwala, during Suri's reign.
Due to its strategic position, the fort facilitated surveillance of the passages leading to the Kashmir Valley. It is prominently mentioned in Tuzk-e-Jahangiri, a revered record of Mughal Emperor Jahangir's reign. Jahangir is reported to have visited the fort due to its strategic location.
The fort also appears in Hari Ram Gupta's historical account of the Sikhs in December 1796, referenced during Zaman Shah Durrani's march to Lahore from Sarai Pakka Khanpur.
