Somewhere down in the Punjab, 130km south of the city of Bahawalpur, the 40 squat bastions of Derawar Fort stand monitor over the vacant fields of the Cholistan Desert as they have done since medieval occasions.
The fortification was worked by Rai Jajja Bhatti, a Hindu Rajput from Jaisalmer, vanquished by the Nawab of Bahawalpur in 1733 and now possessed the imperial Abbasi family, who utilize the necropolis for their own private use.
It takes a day to arrive at the stronghold and you'll require unique consent to head inside, yet you'll be remunerated with one of the most unprecedented sights in Pakistan. The 30m-high dividers are square and incredible, and there is a complicated system of passages that neighborhood guides are glad to show you around. At a cost, obviously!
