Bahia Fort, Punjab

The information in this post might be outdated

When it comes to tourism, Punjab is perhaps the last state you would think of. The image that comes to your mind is fields of mustard, and then maybe Amritsar’s Golden Temple. However, Punjab is also home to untold-of stories. If you’re the kind of tourist who loves to visit ruins that have been turned into modern-day palaces, you have to visit Bahia Fort in Bhatinda. A fort built for a group of 22 villages that were collectively called Bahia Sahib, the Fort is now open to tourists in the day to take you a step back in history.

If you plan on taking a day trip to Bahia Sahib, might we suggest staying in a quaint, quiet goStays room and get some pictures clicked in the midst of the classic sarso ka khet scenes in Ludhiana? We’re feeling very DDLJ already!
