Half-Day Tour of Qutub Shahi Tomb and Golconda Fort

Your tour starts with a pick up from the hotel. You will be then driven towards the Golconda fort. Also known as Round Shaped hill or Shepherds' Hill, the Golconda Fort is a citadel and fort that once served as the capital of the medieval sultanate of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. The Fort used to have a vault that once stored the Koh-i-Noor and Hope Diamonds, along with other precious diamonds. The Golconda Fort along with the Qutb Shahi dynasty Monuments of Hyderabad (the Charminar and the Qutb Shahi Tombs) is on UNESCO’s Tentative World Heritage Site List. Next, head towards the Qutub Shahi tombs, located close to the Golconda Fort. The Qutub Shahi tombs contain the tombs and mosques built by various rulers of the Qutub Shahi dynasty; it is also the resting place of the Golconda Emperors. Laid beautifully among the sprawling gardens, the tombs are worth a visit. The Hindu, Persian and Pathani style of architecture add to the grandeur of the tombs. The corridors of these tombs are famous for their Indo-Saracenic architecture. After the sightseeing tour ends, you will be driven back to the hotel.
