[nidokidos] Cholistan Desert Jeep Rally 2012 and a memorable visit od Derwar

 

Cholistan Desert Jeep Rally 2012 and a memorable visit Derawar Fort
 
Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab's Cholistan Jeep Rally event began in the majestic desert of Cholistan, in the year 2005, with a view to promote southern Punjab as a winter tourist destination, and a way to introduce motor sports in Pakistan.
 
Derawar Fort is a large square fortress in Pakistan near Bahawalpur. The forty bastions of Delawar are visible for many miles in Cholistan Desert. The walls have a circumference of 1500 meters and stand up to thirty meters high.
 
The first fort on the site was built by Deoraj, a prince of Jaisalmer. It remained in the hands of the royal family of Jaisalmer until captured and completely rebuilt by the nawabs of Bahawalpur in 1733. In 1747, the fort slipped from the hands of the Abbasis owing to Bahawal Khan's preoccupations at Shikarpur. Nawab Mubarak Khan took the stronghold back in 1804.
