Built by the Pathania Rajputs, around 900 years ago, Nurpur Fort is located 25 km away from Pathankot. The fort was constructed by Raja Basua and was originally called Dhameri. Around 100 years after the construction of the fort, it fell in the hands of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, who renamed it as Nurpur Fort. It lies on the banks of the River Jabbar. The fort has a Lord Krishna Temple, which has a black stone idol of the deity. Nurpur is also famous for its Pashmina shawls and other woolen textiles.
