Sarkara
Historical site
It is also called kafir qila by locals
Near to laal shahbaz qalander shrine
Beautiful landscape but the site itself is not well maintained by authorities
It is situated on top of a mound
No proper guidance system for visitors

Didn't knew that some fort is also exist in this City before my Visit as this is not quite famous. But the city & fort is worth watching. Fort is under restoration processing, soon it will be a good destinations. Due to Lal shahbaz Qalnader Mizar there are plenty of accomodation available, food & other amenities are easy accessable. Surrounding are also beautiful sights.

The place is worth visiting.
Sehwan Fort / Kafir Qila/ Alexander Fort (1.27km long and 15 metres) is located at Sehwan in Sindh, the city situated on the right bank of River Indus at a distance of 135 km from Hyderabad. It is an old town of pre-Islamic period. it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 326 BC. Later on, the fort was conquered by Mohammed Ibn Qasim, and Mahmud of Ghazni. The fort also remained under the possession of the Mughal emperors. The Kalhora rulers of Sindh, later on, took control. The fort became derelict when the Kalhora Dynasty moved its capital to nearby Hyderabad. The Fort is said to have been built by Alexander the Great and, hence, is also sometimes known as Alexander's Fort in Sehwan. It has massive brickwork like that of Kalankot Fort in Thatta.
The ancient fort lies north of the town and is a massive burnt brick structure laid in mud mortar. The core of the fortification wall is filled with puddle earth. The defensive walls are roughly rectangular in shape, with traces of machicolations (a floor opening between the supporting corbels of a battlement, through which stones, or other objects, could be dropped on attackers at the base of a defensive wall). At the top of the fortification ground area there are modern structures built by Sindh Government. At the side of the Fort area, there are deep ditches dug by French Archaeological Mission in collaboration with Federal and Provincial Archaeology Department. The Endowment Fund Trust (EFT) for Preservation of the Heritage of Sindh has been tasked with the repair and maintenance of the Sehwan Fort.
Some of the local people believe that the fort was built by Alexander the Great. But there is other evidence to show that the fort had existed before Alexander came to India and it he may have repaired it to suit his army requirements. The arches of the fort and other characteristics are oriental and not Grecian. The brick-work, like that of Kalan Kot Fort in Thatta, and the name "Kafir Qila" also points to the fact that Sehwan Fort may have been built during Hindu Rule.

We visited Kafir Qila and loved the experience of visiting it. There are shrines which are beautifully constructed and it was a mesmerizing experience visiting it.

One of the historical place, and a lesson for bad people who used to live like animals, ate like animals, behaved like animals, and even slaughter shah Hussain's known as (Lal Qalandar) best friend and cooked him in a haandy to served Qalandar Sarkar, but Qalandar sarkar turn over the whole village, which is known as kafir Qila or ullti basti. Is yet an example for cruel people. Must visit this area and watch it practically once.

Its an old archaeological site with residence. From that you can experience stunning view of tomb of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and city of Sehwan.

This is historical fort which is called as Kafir Qillo too in local language. The most vibrant fortress of the Indus Valley Civilization.
