Bankot’s Himmat Gadh:
Himmat Gadh, a fort situated at Bankot, also goes by the name of
Bavankot Quila and has existed well before the time of independence. The story
behind the name ‘Bavankot Quila’ is that long back, the tax collected from the
farmers on this land equalled the sum of “bavan kot” or 52 crores!
The fort also serves as a memorial for Queen Victoria, with it
also being known by the name of Fort Victoria. Rumor has it, that an underground
passage also exists, but it’s very likely that it has been shut now. A well,
worn dry over time, can also be found there.
