Excerpt:
The Khaplu Palace was like the other historical buildings of Pakistan, fully derelict, almost destroyed. Then, Agha Khan Foundation took its charge and made it part of Marriott Hotels chain of Pakistan. Not only the present state of Khaplu Palace is commendable, the rooms are well maintained and the overall look of this old center of government is simply inspiring. The rooms where the rulers once used to sit are adequately decorated while keeping the cultural look as well as blending in with the artificial lighting arrangements. Besides, the Agha Khan Foundation invested in refurbishing the old walls and wooden structure along with the necessary arrangements for safety against fire hazards. This seems exciting because the overall look is way beautiful than the Lahore fort, which is usually symbolized as the icon of Punjab.
