Derawar Fort
Bahawalpur
Punjab
Derawar Fort is an important place for tourists. The fort was initially known as Dera Rawal and later referred to as Dera Rawar, which with the passage of time came to be pronounced Derawar, its present name. The walls have a perimeter of 1500 meters and stand up to thirty meters high. This historically significant fort presents an enormous and impressive structure in the heart of the Cholistan desert, but it is rapidly deteriorating and in need of immediate preventive measures for preservation.
