I always wondered, why I never went to salimgarh fort, probably as you said one thinks he will have to walk too long.. nevermind just to check Zebunissa's new composition, i would say it will be worth walking..

Sadly, the Red Fort complex is so vast that visitors are generally unable to visit each & every structure in a single go. The lack of awareness & publicity makes matters worse. It isn't just with Salimgarh, there are hundreds of monuments waiting to be explored, but we do not know about them as they are tucked behind colonies or reached through winding lanes or sometimes hidden in dense foliage. Exploring Delhi throws up jewels one would never expect to find. Keep exploring!!

Really felt for the forgotten ones, who laid their lives for our brighter tomorrow. Couldn't find a single visitor. The pictures and the artifacts, seems to be waiting to be explored. The fort is turned to military base, and entry is restricted. Thanks again, for sharing the information, and direction.

You can take the left turn just before the Naubat Khana palace & keep walking. You will come across caved in barracks & schools, the path would fork many times, but you will either find your way by following the sign boards or the security personnel would flag you down when you enter prohibited portions of the fort complex. Finally a masonry bridge would take you over the busy Ring Road & into the Salimgarh complex.<br />Hope you enjoy your visit!!Pixelated Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756787609244020282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420068855113295028.post-77123943264444851492013-07-28T09:10:30.255+05:302013-07-28T09:10:30.255+05:30I have been to Red Fort several times but never ca...I have been to Red Fort several times but never came across to Salimgarh fort. I couldn't make out the way from Red Fort complex, could you advise.<br /><br />Having read the stories of ghostly presence, and about Zebunisa, and other legends associated with it, I have a deep desire to visit this place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
