Golconda Fort Reviews

Wonderful morning I have spent in the fort.

The fort itself is a must-visit place. However, there is huge traffic on the main road just outside of the fort complex and poor management of the vehicles, street vendors leads to a chaos on the road. You should be prepared to face this chaos while visiting the fort. You can buy tickets online beside the ticket counter which is inside the fort compound.

The place needs a lot of maintenance and restoration. A large portion of the fort needs restoration. We hired local guide and we found it worthy to know about the fort's architecture and intricate details.

A nice place to visit especially with friends and family. Laser light & sound program which is in evening after 7pm is fantastic and it told us about the history of Golconda fort. Ticket prices is only Rs 25/- for Adults and recommended to visit during winters.

Golconda Fort – A Crowded and Overrated Experience Having visited Golconda Fort, I found it to be a bit overhyped and not worth the effort. While the architecture is massive and there’s a lot to explore, the overall experience left much to be desired. What to Know: • Entry Fees: ₹25 for Indians and ₹300 for foreign visitors. • Parking: Convenient parking available near the entrance. • Hidden Temples: The only highlights for me were the beautiful Hanuman cave temple and the Devi Shakti temple, which added a unique element to the visit. What I Didn’t Like: • Crowded: The place was packed, making it hard to enjoy the historical significance. • No Drinking Water: You’ll need to carry your own water as there are no facilities inside, which is inconvenient for such a large site. • Littering Everywhere: It was disheartening to see trash, especially food wrappers, thrown around by visitors. • The Hike: The climb to the top felt like too much effort, especially when the view didn’t really justify it. The city view and fresh air were nice, but nothing extraordinary. My Takeaway: If you’re a history or architecture enthusiast, you might find some value in visiting Golconda Fort. However, the crowds, lack of maintenance, and overall underwhelming experience made it not worth a visit for me. I’d recommend skipping it unless you’re really keen on ticking it off your list.
