The walk takes you inside the fort of the 14th century ruler Firoz Shah Tughlaq built for his new capital Firozabad. The Kushak-e- Firoz (the Palace of Firoz) was strategically built at the banks of River Yamuna. The fort faced riverfront and lush green plains, its staircase leading you to the banks. It has a functioning mosque, a circular baoli (stepwell) known to have water snakes and a hypnotic effect on its visitors (it has recently been barricaded). The fort also has the magnificent Ashokan Pillar in Pali text erected at a height. It is confounding to any visitor how almost 27 tonne of heavy weighing monolith pillar was taken from Haryana and planted inside the fort at such a great height!

Every Thursday evening Djinn (supernatural creatures in Islamic mythology) worship is performed in the complex, with visitors leaving their wish list, and a thread tied to the lattice for the Djinns to fulfill their wishes! The fort in recent years has gained the reputation of being haunted, because of the strong belief of Djinns inhabiting the fort.
