Itinerary
Situated west of Hyderabad, Golkonda Fort is like a tiny kingdom in itself. Colossal stone walls, rusted gates and ruins, reveal secrets of the Golkonda Fort, its grandeur and a bygone era. It was once a city of diamond trade and hence some brilliant gems like the koh-i-Noor and the Darya-i-Noor were excavated from the mines around Golkonda.
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.

About Hyderabad
Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana, a historic city of pearls, palaces and biryani, built around the Charminar, a four-minaret monument from 1591.
Hyderabad was founded in 1591 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, and the Charminar, a granite and lime-mortar monument with four minarets, marks the heart of the old city. Around it lie the Laad Bazaar, famed for bangles, and the Mecca Masjid, while the Chowmahalla Palace shows how the Nizams, who ruled later, lived. The Salar Jung Museum holds an enormous private collection.
Top-ranked sights in Hyderabad: Charminar, Mecca Masjid (Makkah Masjid), Laad Bazaar (Choodi Bazaar).
