    It is a very big fort And to reach this fort we need to walk up on the steps.from fort we see the major part of the Khammam .it looks very beautiful.evening time sunset time good choice for going fort.and we seen ancient weapons some and big big pillars. Above the fort some places are dangerous some places are don't have any safety walls.once we slip we may not be alive.so we need to take precautions care in some Places on the fort.and any surveillance cameras and any security protection not available on the fort.and single going on fort is not better for New people there is some dogs there so we need to go along with the family persons or Friends as a group.

    Good place to visit. We can view almost entire city from the top of khammam fort. Evening sunset was awesome , Every one want to experience this . Maintainance was not upto the mark and no clear sign boards. Best to Visit khammam fort at winter seasons, to experience natural view of khammam city. The architecture at the entrance was awesome.

    If you drive to the Khammam fort so much confusion in small roads leading to the fort . Choose the wide and longer way. Inside there is parking place. After that there is no sign boards you have to ask and reach the steps way to the top. We can enjoy the views of Khammam town from top. Maintenance is very poor. Carry your water bottle and eatables

    Khammam Fort , The city's view from the top of the fort looks very beautiful. It is very near to the Khammam Railway station. From the top of the fort you will see a lake at a distance, which is known as Lakaram lake. This is also a very famous tourist destination of the city.

    Built in 950AD by the kakatiyas, Khammam fort has a long and checkered history. It was taken over by the Qutub Shahi rulers in the year 1512 and subsequently passed into the hands of asaf jahi rulers in the 17th century. Built with granite, the fort stands majestically on a hill in the heart of Khammam town.

    One of the Good places to visit in khammam. No Entry fees No shops inside if you need to visit there pack whatever you need and Go. From my point of view you can spend an hour there with your family. For local travellers you can reach there by Walk also from Khammam old bus stand. Just 1KM away from the Old bus stand. I reached over there from the new bus stand to the old bus stand it took only 20 rupees in Auto. And then by walking to Fort by Enjoying localities.

    There's no ticket for it. Just take a water bottle while trekking so that you won't be dehydrated during sunny day. If you're a sunset or sunrise lover, this is the best place in khammam to experience the sunset or sunrise along with view of city scape and a beautiful, colourful sky

    Khammam Fort is a fort in the city of Khammam, Telangana, India constructed by [[Lakshma Reddy, Ranga Reddy and Velama Reddy]. It served as an impregnable citadel during various regimes of different dynasties, including the Musunuri Nayaks, Qutb Shahi’s and Asaf Jahis. The fort was situated in a very vast area in the heart of the City of Khammam. It was notified as a protected monument by the Archaeology Department several decades ago. Despite decades of neglect, the historical edifice, which once flourished with regal opulence, presents its alluring charm due to its architectural splendorThe Khammam Fort was built by Musunuri Nayaks. Several inscriptions were discovered in the surrounding areas of Khammam and Krishna districts of Musunuri Nayaks. Khammam slowly became an independent territory within the kingdom of Kakatiyas for Musunuri Nayaks. 75 Telugu speaking feudatories of the region under the leadership of Musunuri Nayaks fought for 10 long years to unify the Telugu land and succeeded in repulsing the Delhi Sultanate forces under Malik Maqbul (Khan-e-Jahan Tilangani) out of their country.cannonballs and to counter the enemy from the top. A 15-foot deep trench is dug in some places for the army to store and use as a hiding place. The huge blocks of stone used for the walls are as long as 10 feet and are believed to be transported using elephants and men. No mud or limestone is used in this huge wall and the rocks are tightly placed and leaving the viewers amazed by the construction A permanent Gallows has been erected on this prominent hill fort, where the estimated seat of justice could have been inside the fort. The platform is made of Stone and appears like a well, due to which the locals call this 'Nethi bhavi' ('నేతి బావి 'meaning Ghee well). This stone structure could be seen from allover the city of khammam. Stone Gallows, locally believed to be a Ghee well on top of the fort The fort is believed to have a secret tunnels to the Warangal Fort with multiple entrances in different locations at the fort. One such entrance is 10 feet in diameter and the steps to enter the tunnel are closed due to damage over the years. The local folklore includes stories about valuables being transferred between the kings from here using the secret passages and escaping enemy attacks through them.[

    Mind refreshing very pleasent place Superb vibe This place is open for 24hrs No tickets Free visit No food available no water availability Should carry everything alone with us This place is not for senior citizens aged above 40 because This place has nearly 1000 steps to climb But in the end I would say definitely we get wonderful feeling and especially evening time during sunset 🌇 view is awesome

    Located at amidst of Khammam city. There are two entries to reach top of the fort, one is through old municipal office and the another one is from fort township. From top of the fort, entire Khammam city can be seen from all directions. It's an exponent of Nizam's rule. Garden has been developed by Municipal authorities to attract visitors/tourists in the recent times. On the top of the fort, there can be seen few wells and Canons. The canons can be seen arranged at bastions, giving the idea of warfare/strategy followed by the Nizams. There was prevailing a talk that there was a tunnel from this fort to Golconda Fort, Hyderabad. One can see the remnants of compound walls that were built by Nizams during their regime at a height of 40 metres and above, comprising of large stones of 1.5 Metres and above quadrangular in shape, certainly attract the attention of the tourists, become fascinating things and pose curious questions with regards to the building materials, Civil Engineering techniques, Masonry techniques adopted by Nizams fairly 500 years ago itself. A thing of beauty is joy forever.

    This ancient fort is said to be designed to withstand very big armies. Still has the canons placed at entrance and on the fort. One can clearly view the whole city from atop this huge fortress. But due to no proper maintenance, the ancient ruins are getting worse.

  • 1/5 Theerthala V. 2 years ago on Google
    No maintenance. No fun to have neither while climbing nor after reaching top. No parking and very narrow reach. It looks like prohibited place. Only good thing is we can enjoy sunset watching half city

  • 3/5 sridhar a. 6 years ago on Google • 1 review
