Ramnagar Fort

Ramnagar is situated on the left bank of Kud river in mid Himalayan range, about 40 kms west of Udhampur. Ramnagar also served as the captial of old Bandarlta State. During the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, it came under Sikh ruke and Raja Suchet Singh.

The fort was renovated and undertaken by the Archaeological Survey of India in 1972. It is a protected monument of the Archaeological department.
