Kamru fort

Kamru Fort is a historic tourist attraction about 2 km from the beautiful Sangla Valley, located at an altitude of about 2600 m above the mean sea level. The fort, set against a scenic backdrop, exudes breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayas. Crossing a set of gates the fort can be reached. At the main gate the tourists are blessed by a blissful statue of Lord Buddha. The fort encloses a Lord Badrinath shrine from the 15th century. The fort’s wooden balcony serves as an perfect location for experiencing the magnificence of the Himalayan countryside. On the fort’s third floor is an idol of Goddess Kamakhya that was believed to have been brought from Guwahati, Assam. Once every three years a popular fair dedicated to the Deity is organized. During this fair the temple deity is carried to Gangotri, the site of the Ganga River.
