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.
