Kharpocho Fort, also known as Mindoq Khar, is a historic fort located on a hill overlooking Skardu city and the Indus River in Baltistan, Pakistan. It was constructed by Ali Sher Khan Anchan, the ruler of Skardu during the 16th century. The fort was built to serve as a strategic point to repel invasions from neighboring regions and later as a prison for political prisoners. Kharpocho Fort now serves as a popular tourist destination due to its rich historical significance and breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains.
