Such a beautiful & Calm place, It is marvellous natural fort built by Chalukya kings. Spectacular rock structures all around. Views are breathtaking. From top you see modern badami city, agastya Lake and caves. This is not crowded place with no entry fees

Entrance is from the museum gate and they took the money but didn't give ticket saying the machine didn't work. 5Rs per head to museum and fort together. Govt. should look into this. 1 star for the management and 5 star for the fort. A small climb up the hill to the top. The way is so beautiful and breath taking structures and temples. Must visit if you visit badami caves. Fort closes at 6pm.

Badami fort is really one of a kind and the rocks are amazing to climb. I bet one shall come back for sure if they are local or non local.

Badami Fort is was built by Chalukyas. Perched on the top of a cliff, this fort is accompanied by two temples. There are three granaries on top of fort and a recent mosque. The pathway to the cliff is good, do bring water along with you when you climb.

It is mentioned at the entrance of the fort wall that it takes 1.5 hrs to cover it but it takes hardly 45 min to cover it all unless you want to spend some more time there. Beautiful place for a quick walk and enjoy the city views and the lake view. Especially during the evenings it's really beautiful. Mornings are pretty quiet with hardly any crowd up there. Closes around 6pm and no ticket required to climb up. Beautiful rocks and amazing colors. Superb place to get those insta shots. Beware of monkeys. There are 2 temples up there but both are in ruined state. The structures of both are put together and you can see the temple structure after ASI did a decent job on them. But there are no idols inside. There are few carvings on the walls but those are either very basic or seem to be incomplete. The fort was built during chalukya dynasty. Nevertheless it's a great place for some cool views.

Amazing experience Heavenly architecture. The great fort with thousands of view points to the whole of Badami built for protection for the Chalukyan kingdom of Pulakeshin II. A vast exploration choice to cover by the Upper Shivalaya, Lower Shivalaya, Bastion and Graneries. A mind has to be mesmerized by how well the structure was built. Natural beauty with rock structures similar to the ones found in the Grand Canon was astonishing. Maintenance is HEAVENLY ... Very clean.

Amazing place to visit. The rock creatures are mind-blowing and spectacular. The hike to the top is not difficult and one can climb very easily. The view from the top of the fort is breathtaking where you can get fresh wind blows. If you are planning to visit this fort simply don't miss the sunset.
