Old Colony of Reshit  

 
  home  

Mir Silum Khan II constructed forts, fortresses and defense Posts in different areas, and more particularly in the Chipursan valley. The Rashit fort and old settlement was also constructed during the reign of this Mir.  In the entire Chipursan Valley, Reshit's Fort remains as a model of old colony. The inhabitants of Chipursan have been settled during this Mir's reign. The purposes were to ingress and watch the invasion of the Kirghiz of the little Pamir; and to generate taxes for the state through agro-pastoralism. This landscape is an attractive viewpoint to the surrounding hills and snow-capped mountains. The settlement can be restored and used as tourist point.
