The term “Fort” is generally mistaken as a military outpost however it is more like a calm hill resort with a bunch of gardens and orchards. Many people visit it in hot summer particularly from southern Punjab to enjoy the nice and pleasant weather. The Punjab Government has raised funds for its development and facilitate tourists.
Two weeks ago, I visited it with my family and relatives. Actually, we were visiting our relatives in Multan on Eid and it was very hot in Multan, so we planned to visit Fort Munro, which is about 185 kilometers from Multan.
I captured some pictures
We ate lamb and chicken in Fort Munro, which was roasted over coals. It is called Sajji by the locals and served with rice. Its taste was matchless.
