Half Day Private Hyderabad Sightseeing Tour, Hyderabad

Visit in the morning, when the weather is perfect to climb 360 steps one way.

Originally, 12th Cen Kakatiya Fort of Hindu rulers is 12 kms from city. Clap

while you nap at the entrance. Fascinating views from Baradari (400 ft) plains

and royal necropolis. The outer wall is 8 kms with 87 semi-circular bastions

and 8 gates. In 1687 it fell to the marching Aurangzeb by means of treachery,

latter used a prison by Nizams. Fabled treasure like Koh-i-noor is looted. Huge

blocks of cut stone butting onto natural outcrops of granite, with several

buildings for living, treasury, harems, mosques, baghs, baths and

barracks. Royal Necropolis are located, North west of the fort, out through

Banjara Gate. Mostly from QUTUB Shahi period, large tombs have their own

mosques. Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah and Kulsum Begum Tombs are worth

visiting. The sound and light show inside the fort is the best in India.
