The mention of this fort is also found in the war records of Alexander the Great, which proves to be present in the fourth century BC.

In 1615, the Mughal Emperor Akbar laid siege to win this fort, but he failed in it. After this, in 1620 AD, Akbar's son Jahangir captured the fort by forcing the king of Chamba (who was the eldest of all the kings of the region). The Mughal Emperor Jahangir, with the help of Suraj Mal, had his soldiers enter this fort.
