  Unique fort

  The fort is half way in between Auarangabad and Ellora caves.This is a very huge fort and you have to climb to the maximu to witness the main fort.The parking place is somewhat at a distance from entry point.Entry ticket is Rs.25/- per person.You need enough water if you want to cover all the fort area.But deposit Rs.20/- (refundable) for each plastic water bottle. Otherwise you can take flash without paying any fee. After entering the fort there are many big gates. We went upto the chand minar and bhool bhuleiya. This part of the fort is pitch dark and you may need assistance to cross this bhool bhuleiya.There are many canons are displayed. On the opposite side of chad minar, visit the small canon museum.

  Sizeable and historically significant but neglected

  This is very old 17th century and interesting. Not in great shape, not looked after. It’s a standard inclusion on trip to Ellora but don’t have high expectations given how it has been neglected.

  The impenetrable

  Be prepared to walk if you wish to see it well. The fort is very unique in itself and known to be Impenetrable. There are a lot of moats for this fort. First the location, then canyons, then allegators, then steep climbs and a lot many. One thing I was impressed by the concept of bhool bhoolaiyya inside the fort. It is very hard to pass through unless you are ware of it. All the things shown in movies about throwing hot oil on enemy, confusing them and more are all true. Good luck …

  Imposing!

  It takes around 2-4 hours to explore this place, depending on your speed. The site is quite massive and the view from the top is stunning. It makes you wonder how lives must have been during the nizam's time and the time they protected their citizens with the cannons from the top of the fort. There is also a section near the entrance where you can view the exhibit of sculptures.
