The hill fortress of Jaitak crowns a steep ridge of slate, which rises above the Kiarda Dun. During the war in 1814, the Gurkhas occupied it with a garrison of 2,200 men. The fort is in ruins now, but its location and the remains speak of its erstwhile grandeur.
Getting there: Shimla-Nahan road bifurcates leading to Renukaji. 4 kms from here is Jamta and the fort lies nearby on a hill side.
