Golconda Fart was built by Rajah of Warangal in 1143, with mud, and was reinforced with stone by the Qutb Shahi Dynasty in the 15th century. This fort was built to defend their kingdom and to protect diamond mines. By 17th century, Golconda was was famous for its diamond market. This was the birth home of the Kohinoor diamond. This fort is famous for its design and structure; a hallmark of excellence in military architecture.
Yupp, we climbed to the top. See the white minarets behind me, on top fo the hill? Google said it is about 365 steps to the top but believe me, with the unevenness and the rocky parts, it sure felt like 3000 steps!!!!
Nevertheless, the view was to die for. Magnificent. You would not want to stop looking left to right and vice versa when you are on the top of the hill. Just outstanding.
