Taragarh Fort crowns the hill directly above the dargah quarter, a Chauhan-era stronghold reached by a steep, paved track that reports put at forty-five minutes to an hour for most walkers. The climb is real exercise with patchy shade, so carry water, start in the cool hours, and pack a phone torch for the descent. Monkeys work the upper stretches, so keep food stowed. The reward is the widest panorama in the city, fort gates and ruins underfoot and the lake in the middle distance, and a hill shrine of Miran Sayyid Hussain that shares the summit with pilgrims.
