Overview

The Kohinoor was mined nearby and first traded at this fort. So were the Hope Diamond and the Nassak Diamond. For two centuries Golconda was the diamond capital of the ancient world. The fort itself is one of the greatest medieval fortifications in India — 15 large towers, 51 small towers and 446 openings across 11 kilometres of walls, with an acoustic system so precisely engineered that a single hand clap at the base gate is clearly audible at the royal apartments 90 metres above. The Qutub Shahi Tombs nearby are the mausoleums of the seven kings who built Golconda, set in gardens where even criminals who took refuge were traditionally pardoned. The architectural blend of Persian, Pathan and Hindu styles is found nowhere else in India. Half day private tour, expert cultural guide and all entry fees included. 5 Senses Tours is recognised by the Department of Tourism, a winner of the Outlook Responsible Tourism Award and the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Award.
