Well it's indeed majestic Fort, Very scenic. But its Commando Training place, one can only visit the Historic Gurudwara Sahib inside the Fort . The throne and the well where 9th Guru , Guru Teg Bahadur Sahab Rested is highly energetic place . Photography ia not allowed inside ,You can spot peacocks there as well . Overall great place , but demands care and preservance.

An old fort at the outskirts of Patiala, it houses the gurudwara sahib where Guru Teg Bahadur ji stayed. They have the relics related to his visit in the gurudwara. This fort also houses the commando complex, which in my view has stripped the fort of most of its historical legacy. I wish the fort was preserved as it was. However, you can still see the old walls and get lost in the old world charm.

Bahadurgarh Fort is a historical fort, built in the year 1658 CE, by the Nawab Saif Khan, but the fort was restructured by Maharaja Karam Singh of the historical princely state of Patiala in 1837. Lying on the outskirts of the city, the majestic Bahadurgarh Fort is a prominent tourist attraction. Built in the 17th century by first settler nawab Saif Khan during the reign of Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, the fort is believed to have been called Saifabad. There are many notable Islamic-style monuments near the fort, including the Diwan-e-Aam and an elegant mosque. Tourists can also visit the nawabs tomb that lies a stones throw from the fort. It is said that the fort was renamed later on to commemorate the stay of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur. Thus, it is called the Bahadurgarh Fort now. With time it was renovated and a gurdwara was built by Maharaja Karam Singh of Patiala in the 19th century. Since 1989, the grounds of the fort serve as the Punjab Police Commando Training School.

Constructed on the site of the old Saifabad Fort, which was built as the residence of Nawab Saif ud-Din Mahmud or Saif Khan, the fort was renovated by Maharaja Karam Singh of the princely state of Patiala in 1837. The fort is built in an area of about 21 sq kilometers in a circular shape surrounded by two ramparts and moat. The fort was built in 1658 and later renovated between 1837 and 1845 in the cost of around Rs 100,000 at that time. The fort was named after Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of Sikhism, by Maharaja Karam Singh in 1837.

Big and preserved fort in Punjab, Restoration work is needed more.
