14th Century Golkonda Fort @ Hyderabad, India

If you happened to be going down for a travel or working in Hyderabad, India, this is the place I recommend you to go to. I was in awe with the ruins and it's the best place in HYDERABAD so far!! Yeahhhh, you got me right, the best so far!! So, it's worth a visit and you will never regret it. ;-) 
I was there last year around November till December 2013 for working-training purposes for an approximate 6 weeks. It was like my temporary home until I was back in M'sia. 
Sorry that I took so long to blog. I was hoping to blog it sometime sooner when I got back from India, however, I may need to have the mood to blog. To me, it seems like I'm influenced by my mood/ motivation/ inspiration/ drive to blog. LOL~ wtf~

Just a simple signboard

This magnificent fort was built on a granite hill in the 14th centuries!!
You should climb up to the top of the fort as you will be able to overlook the Hyderabad old city. I personally enjoyed my visit to Golkonda fort as compared to the other attractive sites in Hyderabad! haha~ My apology, I'm not trying to downgrade the other sites in India, but it is really the truth. My other colleagues also agreed about it too.

Anyway, here are some pictures which I took.

But if you find that you have too much money which you do not know where else to spend it at, sureeeee, you could always visit other places to gain more experiences. Well, imo, the only experience one would gain from is to criticize about how bad it was. :-P
However, the air was quite polluted and hazy at that time of visit...so I couldn't really take better pictures for a far scenery... Besides that, the weather on that day was really hawttt, I mean not the sexy hawtness but the sweltering hotness from the heat. It never rained for that past weeks I was there, except at that time, when there was a cyclone which hit somewhere east south of Hyderabad.   

Entrance fee: 100 Indian rupee for foreigners and 5 Indian rupee for locals (such a big difference, so ridiculous I think!! Better just make that free for its citizens *eyes rolling*)

If you need the simple booklet/a few leaflet about Golkonda fort, you may need to pay for it too. IMO, most places that I've visited, so far, I think it's given free of charge!

Enjoy the wonderful scenery pictures below. ;)

Spotted a cutie Indian pup.

Hazy, otherwise would be a beautiful view.

Some Indian school kids.
Btw, I got harassed by quite a number of school kids, apparently they were obsessed with China ppl I think as they kept asking if I was from China. Sorry kids, I no come from China. Other than that, they requested me to take pictures with them (I was a mini celebrity for the day). LOL~

Anyway, I don't think one may need a tour guide to follow you around for relaxing and seeking nice breeze on top of the hill. Recommended to walk by yourself to enjoy it because those Indian guides were very pushy and they charged at a different pricing and were very pricey! Their rates were not consistent and were very different at every single minute when you refused their offer. LMFAO~

Other than that, I feel that it's a shame that most of the attraction places in India are not maintained tip top...e.g. Tombs of Qutb Shah, Charminar...there were lots of pigeon faeces all over the places and I bet these are a major turn-off to the tourists, if it's not to the tourists, at least to me!
This news about pigeon faeces was true as I personally read it from their local newspaper too. Somehow, I forgot to capture the shot for proof purposes if you may think that I was lying. :P  

Alrighty, till here for Golkonda Fort! Adios~
