Solapur Bhuikot Fort - Fortress in Solapur - Solapur, India

Fort is good but requires lot of preservation. The state of gardens surrounding the fort is so bad. It's sad that the local bodies are ignorant about the bad state of this historical monument.

The Solapur Bhuikot Killa is one of the major tourist locations in Solapur, Maharashtra. This fort is not only an ancient Muslim fort located in Solapur, but also one of the ancient historical and religious places in Maharashtra.

Good sight seeing with beautiful views in the middle of the city but there is a lack of guide signs... (Also the ticket buying system is online and easy)

Place opens up at 9 am and is open till 5 pm. Though most of the fort is still intact but this glorious piece of history is ill maintained. As per the security funds dried up for the upkeep of the fort. If the fort can regain its lost glory and a sound and light show be added to the venue would attract crowd and revenue both. Also the fort should have someone like a guide to explain history of the fort generating interest. Solapur has a rich of story telling sadly no one's interested nice place

A beautiful and peaceful fort. The fort has a lovely pink flower tree which blossoms during summer and many neem trees. The area of the fort is larger so to explore it completely you need at least an hour. You get the nice view of the lake from top of Them he fort walls. Entry ticket is 20rs which you have to pay online and they don't accept cash. The fort closes at 5.30pm.

A very nice and well maintained fort. You need to scan and purchase the ticket. Money isn't accepted. The fort is small and can be completed within an hour.

Managed by ASI, the fort definitely has seen better days and could use better upkeep. Inside the fort, there is lot of park area, couple of fountains but has not been maintained properly with grass having overgrown throughout the place. But for fort lovers, you can stroll around the place and visit 2 -3 structures that are still standing. You can spend about 1 - 1.5 hours max at this place, not more. The walls of the fort still stand majestically overlooking the city and the view of the lake and siddeshwar temple from the ramparts are worth a view. Was told at the ticket counter that use of DSLR inside the fort is prohibited at the time of this writing in Sep'22 but point and shoot cameras or mobile phones are allowed. It may change in future but not as of now. There are amenities inside the fort but since the fort is in the heart of the city you have access to food/water as soon as you exit the fort. The walk along the paved path near the fort called ganpath ghat is also something you may want to try if you are visiting the fort.

Best place but need to be well maintained and took to much time to get tickets they said there is no offline system to get tickets , have to get it through website only
