    The Ghiyasuddin Tughlak Tomb is an imposing structure made in red sandstone laced with white marble decorations in the right proportions adding to its beauty. A unique feature of this monument is also its tapered walls that are unusual for the architecture of those times. I visited this tomb at the same time as the Tughlakabad Fort since this place is right across the road that ruptures the causeway that originally connected the tomb with the fort. In the medieval period, there was a bog on either side of the causeway making it impossible to cross over from the tomb site to the fort. In the middle of this space is the mausoleum that hosts the tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq and his wife. The entrance suggests that this was originally a Hindu temple that was repurposed for a tomb according to the tour guide. The parts of the Kalash that adorned the original temple are well preserved and can be seen even today in one of the storage rooms within the complex. ♿ Accessibility Features: No=Ramp access.

  • 5/5 Barun G. 2 years ago on Google • 518 reviews
    Located right opposite Tughlaqabad Fort, this tomb is dedicated to Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq and two persons buried with him are estimated to be his wife and son and heir Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. Predating the Taj Mahal by over 300 years this mausoleum shows the use of marble for decorating a building but not for construction of it. The dome is completely built of marble. Same ₹20 ticket that one has to buy for Tughlaqabad Fort gives you access to this site too. Steep steps lead onto the platform where the mausoleum is built but before accessing the building you have to be careful about the monkeys sitting outside who are fed be general members of the public.

    Nice place to visit with family and friends. But mostly couples can be seen. Ticket is 25 rupees per head. Tomb is on opposite side of the road. Security guards are available at the premises. Clean washrooms are there inside the fort.

  • 5/5 Jaysenjx “Travel I. 5 years ago on Google • 318 reviews
    Very well maintained Tomb, approach to this tomb is very nice. You need to come opposite to the Tughlakabad Fort and can enter to this Tomb with the same purchased ticket of Tughlakabad Fort. They have mentioned the details on Braillipi so that everyone can get to know the details of this tomb. It also have a beautiful garden where anyone can sit and have a chat. Very nice place to click pictures. Maximum visitable time is 15-20 minutes, not more than that because it doesn't not have many things to do. Not a place for Couples, as seen at other locations.

  • 5/5 Jayaraj T T. 4 years ago on Google • 152 reviews
    This tomb is just opposite to the Tuglakabad fort. The entry ticket is same for this tomb and Tuglakabad fort and you can buy the entry ticket from main entrance of the Tuglakabad fort. This tomb was the first tomb built for tuglak rulers. Built in early A.D 14 th century. You can click nice photos here if you go in the afternoon in natural sunlight. Car parking is available in the entry gate of Tuglakabad fort

    Tughlaq Tombs in the Indian subcontinent are mostly simple, monotonous and heavy structures in Indo-Islamic architecture built during the Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1413). They look more like fortresses with walls surrounding them and have restrained decoration and embellishment compared to both earlier and later Indian Islamic tombs.

    Built by Ghiyassuddin Tughlak in 1321. Neat and clean, well maintained fort in the outskirts. Guide can be taken for 100 bucks for an hour or two, from among the security people working there, to appreciate the beauty of the place. No ASI guide was seen at the fort. Originally had 52 gates, 13 remaining today, with sloping walls of massive strength. Don't forget to wear good pair of sports shoes to appreciate the beauty of the fort in foot. Carry own water bottle and food, as canteen facility was missing. Fort is quite big, though it looked pretty safe, but still avoid walking alone on secluded parts. Adilabad part of the fort on other side is beautiful and a must visit. Try completing the trip in first half of the day to avoid sun. Tickets are pretty cheap. The fort was built by Ghiyath al-Din Tughlaq in 1321. It is a huge area spread across a stretch of 6.5 km. I went by Uber hence do not know the route for public transport. Nonetheless, it is pretty well-known in Faridabad area and is one of the very few spots you can visit in that area. The mausoleum which is on the other side of road from the ruins is in much better condition and you will see people taking an afternoon siesta there or playing cards. It has the grave of Tughlaq and his wife and son. Entry fee is mere INR15 for Indian nationals and INR100 for foreign nationals (could have increased in 2017). I went there on a solo trip and hence had to later look up its history on the Internet. Not much has been written about the history of the beautiful and vast ruins at the location. It is true that a part of the ruins are cordoned off due to criminal offenses and the guard at the main gate shall inform you about it if he sees you going in that direction. Apart from that, I didn't face any problem. But is it recommended to go in day time as the place shuts in the evening at 5 pm. I would definitely suggest visiting this place because I personally love the history that every ruin speaks of and this place evokes volumes of past richness of the Tughlaq Dynasty.

    Wonderful place to spend peace time alone or with few family members and friends. You would find lots of monkey there. The tomb is not that beautiful but possess great historical significance and will astonish you by the architect style existing during that time. Fare of ticket is ₹15 which includes the price of visiting Tuglakabad Fort just opposite to the Tomb. It lacks water and snacks availability nearby and also I think there are no proper toilets .

    Even though the fort across the road is not well maintained, the tomb is quite well preserved and stands like a strong witness to the history.

    Giyasuddin Tughlaq's Tomb is much more protected than the adjacent Tughlakabad Fort. Clean surroundings, well maintained tomb and the ground complex gives a relaxing environment to the area to make you spend some more time here for just relaxing.

  • 5/5 rajesh g. 5 years ago on Google • 58 reviews
    The tomb was part of the Tughlakabad fort connected by a rampart and surrounded by the lake but the lake has dried and the rampart was cut to make badarpur road .The tomb complex is small but grass and the tomb in the centre makes it awesome. A must see if you are in the vicinity. The sunset makes it even more beautiful.

    There are too many monkeys here and they cause a lot of trouble.

  • 5/5 naresh k. 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Everything is good but need to control over excess of monkeys… Sometimes they attack on people. It could be more dangerous. Govt. of India and Archaeological survey should look into this matter and take some good actions regarding this threat.
