点评:Altit Fort is 1,100 years old and the oldest monument in the Hunza Valley.
To showcase its historical significance, in more recent years the fort has been meticulously restored. The visitor can now explore this square shaped fort with its small passageways, rooms and strategic view points.
Access to the fort is via a pathway through the royal garden. This pathway is well maintained and only becomes steep once you near the fort. There are a number of steps leading to the fort and then inside the fort.
Entrance to the fort is 1,500 Pakistani Rupees for a foreigner. Apart from access to the fort you are also given a personal guide. Their knowledge is understandably detailed and interesting and certainly makes your visit more meaningful.
One of the stand out memories of Altit Fort for me would be the views. They are magnificent and the colour of the Hunza River just amazing.
Look out for the ‘bravery test’ stone pillars that are situated to the right of the fort when first approaching it. You will see them once you are inside the fort from one of the viewing terraces. These natural stone pillars stand independently and in years gone by were used to test the Hunza soldiers bravery. They would jump between them and perform acrobatics in an effort to impress. If any mistakes were made then it meant a fall to certain death.
Don’t miss a visit to Altit Fort, quite apart from its history and fabulous architecture, the views are just spectacular.
翻译:阿尔蒂特堡已有 1,100 年历史,是罕萨山谷最古老的古迹。
为了展示其历史意义,近年来,这座堡垒得到了精心修复。游客现在可以探索这座方形堡垒,里面有小通道、房间和战略观景点。
通过一条穿过皇家花园的小路可以进入堡垒。这条小路维护得很好,只有在靠近堡垒时才会变得陡峭。有许多台阶通往堡垒,然后进入堡垒。
外国人进入堡垒的门票是 1,500 巴基斯坦卢比。除了进入堡垒外,您还会得到一位私人导游。他们的知识非常详细和有趣,这无疑使您的访问更有意义。
对我来说,阿尔蒂特堡最难忘的记忆之一是这里的景色。它们非常壮观,罕萨河的颜色令人惊叹。
第一次接近堡垒时,请留意位于堡垒右侧的“勇气测试”石柱。进入堡垒后,您可以从其中一个观景台看到它们。这些天然石柱独立矗立,在过去的岁月里被用来测试罕萨士兵的勇气。他们会在石柱之间跳跃并表演杂技,以给人留下深刻印象。如果出现任何失误,就意味着跌落必死无疑。
千万不要错过参观阿尔蒂特堡垒,除了其历史和美妙的建筑外,这里的景色也十分壮观。
