Kotli, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir. It is located next
to Gulpur, a town in Kotli District, this town is
located on the junction of the Kotli-Mirpur and
Kotli- Rawalpindi road. Adjoining Gulpur is Throchi
a small village and fort in Naoshera province, located
about 10 miles south of Kotli city (Bates, 1873, p.
391). Throchi Fort is situated on top of a hill at a
strategic location, for that reason, it is known as the
crown of District Kotli.
The fort has been built on the left bank of the Poonch
River, 13 km south of Kotli, near Gulpur village, by
the Mangral Muslims under Nasir-Din Khan (Singh,
1988, p. 287). No further information could be
found about the original date of construction of the
fort or the life of the builder of this fort, but one
thing is claimed by the locals of Throchi village that
the name ‘Throchi’ comes from the name of some
prominent Hindu personality.
Throchi is one of the few forts which are difficult
to access and are commonly built on a rocky hill
summit, because of its position and plan it is fully!!!
