Built in the 19th century, Zorawar Fort served as a crucial military outpost during the reign of the Dogra rulers. It was named after General Zorawar Singh Kahluria, a renowned general who played a significant role in expanding the Dogra empire into Ladakh, Baltistan, and Tibet. The fort witnessed several battles and served as a symbol of Dogra power in the region. After falling into disrepair, it was later restored and converted into a museum showcasing the region's military history and the life of General Zorawar Singh. Today, it stands as a reminder of Ladakh's strategic importance and the bravery of its historical figures.
