It's probably the best place to visit in the beautiful city of Itanagar. It takes you away from the hustle and bustle of city life and lands you into an altogether different place with wonderful and astounding natural view that can't be experienced in the cities. The place is probably very old and the fort itself was built somewhere around 14th century AD. The Itafort is called because it is made up of bricks ( or Ita as it's called in local language). The bricks has lichens on it. The fort has pavements to walk you around and a wonderful weather as it is at the top of the city. A general ticket of ₹10 can be purchased at the entry gate for Indian Citizen and souvenir shop is also at the entry gate. The place is a photographer's paradise. It's a must visit place if you are in Itanagar.

Location: Most importantly, if you follow the Google location of Ita Fort, you will end up much before it. You need to ask locals there onwards for its exact location. Actually, there is no proper Google location for it. Structure: Ita fort has no structure left except a few dilapidated brick walls. Its formation dates, years, kingdoms under whom it was built, or objectives are not well known. It is thought to have been built between 1400 and 1500 AD. Currently, it has been converted to a modified park situated at a hilltop where you can have a magnificent view of the lush green hills surrounding Itanagar. There are two nice viewpoints for such observations. Approximate visit time is 20-30 mins. Do visit whenever you are in Itanagar.

This place is completely on the hill top, For reaching here a better option is to book some vehicle or go from your personal vehicle, Trekking is also an option but ultimately the person has to walk so long to reach there, The place is good, but not maintained completely, The views are good from here, It is made like a small park, No much remains are left there which can show the history specifically, Ticket price is ₹20 per person (not sure) because I didn't get any receipt of the entry ticket, Most of the people come here to just roam and enjoy their time, Overall it is a good place for exploring and taking a good view and pictures also.

Must visit if you are in Itanagar. Entrance Fees for Adults ₹10/- and for Child ₹5/- . This place is developed well as a garden and it is big enough to roam around so doesn't get crowded in spite of many visitors. One cas spot many youngsters in this garden. However it's not much attractive historical place as it simply has thick small height walls built 700 years back. One can see such walls outside Ita Fort and near 'Akashwani Kendra' without visiting Ita Fort. It's a good photography spot as it's located on a hill near helipad and Rajbhavan. One can see entire Itanagar from this place.
