The fort, adorned with intricate wooden carvings and historical artifacts, is composed of a unique blend of Tibetan and indigenous Himalayan architecture. The entrance to the fort is characterized by a series of gates, the main one being adorned by a grand image of Lord Buddha. The path leading up to Kamru Fort weaves through apple orchards and is lined with traditional Kinnauri houses.
