Garpanchkot is a historical site that traces its origins to the Singh Deo Dynasty, which ruled over the region in the 16th century AD. The name, Garpanchkot, derives from the word “Garh”, meaning fort, and the hill where the fort was built, called Panchkot or Panchet. The king of Kashipur, a nearby place, constructed a temple on the hilltop. The hill covers an area of 18 sq km and rises to a height of 2100 feet.

Today, only the ruins of the entire kingdom stand as the scattered terracotta temples on the Southern Panchkot foothills, as the fort was destroyed by the combined forces of the Marathas and the Mughals in a fierce battle. Garpanchkot is a place of unforgettable beauty and historical significance.

Exploring a destination...

The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.

But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.

• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too

• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!

• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
