the best season for the visit of fort is july to September .because in that time the lake is full of water in those days.otherwise in other months the lake is dry and if u reach at the fort there is a treking way 8 km by foot and the way is horrible .whenever you go there water must b carry with you..

Located on the summit of a hill, Ramkot Fort is built over the site of an old Hindu Shiva temple. three sides of this hill top are surrounded by the River Jhelum. During excavations relics of the 5th – 9th century AD have been discovered near one of the temples. In the 16th – 17th century AD the Muslim rulers of Kashmir in safe guarding their boundaries built numerous forts. Ramkot, sitting atop at the confluence of the river Jhelum is one of them. The Sikh Maharaja of Kashmir further fortified Ramkot.
