today was saturday and i had nothing planned.i was in my aunt's houz when suddenly akku called and suggested a visit to golconda.i was up for it and soon i joined akku,arif and farukh.we made our way through the small alleys surrounding the golconda in an autorickshaw.as it was a weekend we could see a lot of tourists,including a sizeable amount of foreigners.i already had a printout of the map of the fort and we followed it.it took an hour for us to reach the top most point, bala hisar.it offered us some spectacular views of the surroundings. i could spot some other landmarks like tramati baradari,the qutb shahi tombs,the gandipet lake and others fro there.we had sat here for sometime before seeing the rest of the fort.
we saw many important buildings like the armory,akanna maddanna's office,the diwan e khas,ibrahim quli qutb shah's mosque,barood khana,the hamam and others.the whole fort is beautiful and on reading the various stories associated with the fort and seeing the very place where it happened one gets transformed back in time.we took 3 hours to fully cover the fort and in the process didnt miss much of it.
