This Fort Very Older And Good Structure Beutiful Design Old Senchuri Green Covered Erias
I couldn't believe that within the borders of Delhi lies this seven hundred year old fort built by Mohammad Bin Tughlaq.
Very difficult to locate as there are no clear roads or signs but there is a delapidated boundary wall following which you'll end up at the entrance.
Not a place for persons of reduced mobility and women shouldn't go alone or in the late afternoon even with some male companions as the area is infested with unsocial elements.
There is a guard of ASI but he never asked for our ticket and let us explore what little remains on our own.
Climbing steep steps was tough especially since the ascent was on a steep incline.
From the top you can see Tughlaqabad Fort and the tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq in the distance.
Not much remains inside the fort complex but it is well maintained so you can sit and relax for a while.
Adilabad Fort in Delhi is a historical treasure. Its impressive architecture and rich history provide a glimpse into the city's past. While it's not as well-known as some other forts, it's worth a visit for history buffs and those seeking a quieter historical site in the heart of Delhi.
Adilabad Fort was built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq second ruler of Tughlaq dynesty.
Adilabad Fort derived it name of sobriquet of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq, Adil.
The fort is forth fort in Delhi others being Red Fort, Old Fort, Tughlaqabad. It's just small replica of Tughlaqabad Fort which were built by Ghayasuddin Tughlaq.
The fort is built in opposite fortress area of Tughlaqabad Fort. Earlier both forts connected by causeway in between canal and lake.
Remaining ruins of the fort depicts it's glory. Having two massive gates, bastions and triangular arches on walls, sloping walls, outer boundary walls. Made it difficult for mangol enemies to conquer.
The sole objective of constructing this fort by Muhammad Bin Tughalaq could have been to establish his own monument to register his name in history.
Fort is opens at 9:30 am and closed at 6:00 pm. And there won't be any entry charges by administration.
It takes around 2 hour to complete the visit. Best place of photography.
One must enjoy the glory of heritage in walk.
It's too awesome place, if you are history lover and wanna visit an ancient place, so It's a better place, you can visit here with frnds and family, gaurd is available here, and you can get here a beautiful view for photography, as you can see mine.
Place should be better maintained and visitors should aviid littering. It is a beautiful place to visit. We went cycling early morning on a Sunday.
Adilabad Fort, Delhi
The one place that every child visiting Delhi is dragged to, is, of course, the Red fort. It is a monument that attracts one of the highest footfalls in the country. That's perhaps because it used to be the power-center of a greater part of India less than a century ago. But what of the numerous other fortresses strewn around this country? Did you know there are several others in Delhi itself? Seven cities were raised in the capital one after the other, and more than seven forts were built to protect the palaces and the monarchy in each case. Much of that splendor is gone today, but the stones that remain in some parts of Delhi bear testimony to the immense military power of the kings that ruled here once. Let me take you on a visit to one of the smaller, lesser known forts in the city today.
In the south east fringes of Delhi, very close to the better known Tughlaqabad Fort, lies a fortress of almost identical features but smaller proportions, Adilabad. Like Tughlaqabad, it lies in fascinating ruins today... Young boys play cricket in the meadows around it, and except for locals, visitors to the place are few and far between.
It was in 1321 when the first Tughlaq ruler had seized power from the Khiljis that ruled before him. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq was an able administrator and a shrewd military commander, and he had his dream fort,the massive Tughlaqabad, built in 6 years to keep out the menace of the Mongols. Tughlaqabad, however, never flourished as a city, and the curse that was its undoing is an enticing story in itself. In any case, after Ghiyasuddin's death, his son Muhammad bin Tughlaq inherited the throne. Muhammad was a brilliant man, his ideas far ahead of his time... to the point that many still think he was a crazy man. Among the many projects he took up was the building of the walled city of Jahanpanah. In effect, instead of creating a new city again, this king consolidated all the previous forts inside one great wall- from Lal kot near Qutb Minar, to Siri in South Delhi, all the way to his father's abandoned fort, the mighty Tughlaqabad in the south east. In the words of famous Moroccan traveller Ibn Batuta, who was visting Tughlaq's court in those days,
"Dilli the metropolis is a vast and magnificent city, uniting beauty with strength. It is surrounded by a wall that has no equal in the world, and is the largest city in the entire Muslim Orient."
So far so good. But if the kingdom of Jahanpanah was so well consolidated, and the fort of Tughlaqabad couldn't be properly settled for lack of drinking water in the area, what led the king to build another fort in its vicinity? No one can tell. Perhaps it was built as a transitory palace between Tughlaqabad and Jahanpanah? Or perhaps it was the prince's private palace when his father was king? All we know is that Muhammad named it Adilabad after himself, Adil being his assumed title. To add to the confusion, there's yet another fortress in the distance, tinier and even more ruined, also said to have been built by Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Not much more than a wall remains there, but its name is intriguing: Nai ka Kot (Barber's fort). Historians haven't been able to find out much about this place.
Adilabad was originally connected to Tughlaqabad via a causeway. Today there is no direct connection, but you can drive right up to it through 'kuchha' roads. Not far away is the well preserved tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, where, it is said, Muhammad bin Tughlaq is also buried beside his father. Though his fortress is in ruins today, its basic structure is still intact. When I went there just after the rains, the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) seemed to have done some beautification of the area. The grass was fresh green, and colorful flowers against the broken rubble walls made a strangely poignant scene. Do visit once. Surely this mysterious fort deserves a few guests.

The flag is very very tall and can be seen from far away.
There's a huge park around it and lots of places to sit and chill if you want to.
You could walk around the whole park.
It's tight above outside Rajiv Chowk metro station on the yellow line.

It's opposite to India Gate National war Memorial Delhi. Restricted Area. Access to Armed Forces officer and their family members only. It's not open for civilians. Excellent 124 INF BN (TA) SIKH.
It is an incredibly beautiful, peaceful space to be in the admist of a very busy city.
The gardens are really spacious, with plenty of buildings to explore dotted around. It was lovely to see peacocks surrounding the space. Staff were friendly and e
One of the historical monuments of Mughal Era situated inside Sundar nursery. The nursery is open till 10 PM every day and the ticket is Rs50 per person. I would recommend going afternoon as the weather and the views are very pleasing and appealing.
Another unexplored part of the Sanjay van Forest. Can get v nice views from here, especially at dawn during sunrise. Sunset would be good too, but after that it gets really dark and would not be safe finding one's way back out of the park.
It is near to the qutub minar..Well maintained tomb and everything is kept cleaned...
The tomb of Iltutmish, Qutub Minar Complex, was built in 1235 A.D. It is situated just outside the north-west corner of the Quwwat-ul-Islam near the Qutub Minar. T
