Lakhpat Fort is a fascinating historical fortress located in the far north-western corner of the Kutch district in Gujarat, standing near the Kori Creek along the India-Pakistan border. Built in the 18th century, this massive fort has walls stretching around seven kilometres and once enclosed a prosperous port town that earned lakhs in daily revenue, giving Lakhpat its name. However, after the devastating 1819 earthquake changed the course of the Sindhu (Indus) river, the port dried up and the once-thriving town gradually turned into a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. Today, the fort walls, ancient structures, and historic monuments including the Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib, Pir Ghous Muhammad's tomb, and Sayyed Pir Shah's dargah stand as silent witnesses to its glorious past. The panoramic views from the fort ramparts overlooking the vast Rann and creek are truly mesmerising. Since Lakhpat is located in a remote border region far from Bhuj, most travellers prefer booking a comfortable taxi, cab, or tempo traveller service from Bhuj for a convenient trip. Whether travelling with family or in a group, hiring a reliable car rental or bus service for Lakhpat Fort ensures a smooth and safe journey.
