Uparcott

Uparkot Fort is located at the foot of Girnar Hills in Gujarat. It was built in the IV century BC during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya.

The fort was reopened in the X century BC. Since then, it has been repeatedly rebuilt by kings and other rulers over the centuries. The entrance of the fort leads to the ruins of the fortress, which is surrounded by a deep moat. In some places the height of the fort reaches 20 meters. At the entrance there are several archaeological sites: Buddhist caves, Jama Masjid, Adi-Kadi Wav and others. In Buddhist caves, the rocks are decorated with floral ornaments. Also on the territory of the fort there is a mosque built by Mohammad Beghde, a cannon, wells.

Despite the fact that the monuments in the fort were restored many times, many preserved their historical appearance. The best time to visit the fort is in the winter months: from October to March, as it is very hot in the summer.
