Giri is arguably the most challenging of Taxila's archaeological sites to access. Because you must park your car at least 500 meters from the Giri Fort and walk across a pass that is crossed by a stream of cold, pure water. A beautiful location for admirers of the natural world. Only a portion of the fort has been rebuilt; the area directly in front of the reconstructed area is still scarcely discernible. The fort's walls are likewise difficult to see. It was most likely built in the fifth century AD and, as its name implies, served as a defensive structure. A little more than 7 kilometers separate you from the Taxila museum. The region is remote, lovely, and hilly all around.
