dominates the road to Badiyal towards Sarahan in Himachal, the road to Trilokpur, the ridge road

towards Thapli/ Mandana and the road to the Tals. The fort also overlooks the Morni town or
Bhoj Jabial.

Morni fort- The Golden Bastions

There was a well/reservoir in the centre of the fort (now filled up).The air circulates through the
wends in the domes to keep the atmosphere cool during summer months.
Restoration: The fort was in a state of ruin when the Haryana Forest Department took over its
possession in 1977 from the Mirs of Morni. The bastion in the south-west had collapsed. The
premises were thereafter used by the Wildlife department for running the Pheasant Breeding
Centre until 2006.The fort was thereafter extensively renovated and restored to its original look
in 2009. Care was taken during the restoration to use the same materials for the masonry works
like lime powder and fly ash as were used in the original construction. A couple of modern rooms
were added inside the fort for tourists.The Pheasant Breeding Centre was relocated outside to the
make-shift enclosures on the slopes of the hill.
Shiv Temple: A brightly painted Shiv temple stands outside the Eastern Gate and breaks the
gloom presented by the quiet, deserted fort and the shade of the Eucalyptus trees.

Pheasant Breeding Centre: A pheasant breeding centre is run by the Haryana Forest
Department adjacent to the fort and seems a rather poor cousin of the state-of-the-art Vulture
Conservation and Breeding Centre being run by the department in partnership with the Bombay
Natural History Society near Birshikargarh Wildlife Sanctuary.
