India 2015, Part 5

Come on.

I'm forcing myself to write more and more in the blog.

Day 4 in Hyderabad. Yeap, we decided to go to heritage site today. Qutb Shahi and Golconda Fort.

Tell me peeps, it's like a dream comes true. I might not an antique collector, but am absolutely into heritage site. I just love to be and enjoy old buildings.

We went to Tomb Qutub Shahi 1st before we went to Golconda Fort.

Being us, we're crazily having photoshoot session with Toy instead of enjoying the historical buildings. It's huge. Super huge. Me, Sheema & Rose finished the tour till the end of the place. While Sara & Along having their own sweet time picnic under the big fat tree for Sara to do her sketching.

The tombs of the seven Qutub Shahi rulers in the Ibrahim Bagh (garden precinct) are located close to the famous Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single storey while the larger ones are two storied. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.

We spend half of a day being there. Fees for Tomb is like 10 rupees per person. Then we get 2 autos for us to go to the next destination Golconda Fort.

Golconda Fort is a MUST VISIT place once in Hyderabad especially for the light and sounds show.

The place is super huge and to tell you the truth I've no mood to climb the stairs and be up on top of the hills. Panas ok panas. Kau bajet Europe nak suruh aku panjat castle lama? Kalau sejuk baq ang lama dah aku panjat. So I just lazying around waiting for Sara & Sheema went up on top of the hills. Me, Rose & Along just enjoying our time looking around.

Enterance fees 100 rupees.

Golconda, also known as Golkonda or Golla konda ("shepherd's hill"), a fort of Southern India and capital of the medieval sultanate of the Qutb Shahi dynasty (c.1518–1687), is situated 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) west of Hyderabad. It is also a tehsil of Hyderabad district, Telangana, India. The region is known for the mines that have produced some of the world's most famous gems, including the Koh-i-Noor, the Hope Diamond and the Nassak Diamond.

It's a huge place and definitely worth to visit. The light and show? Alahai kau ibarat derma darah kat nyamuk je bhai. They used Amitabh Batchan voice as the background and its not worth waiting as its too loud and too many mosquitos. Sumpah haram aku tak tak tau apa dia cerita masa dia dok bebel-bebel tu.

Last day in Hyderabad we went back to Charminar area to do some shopping. As Along is not feeling well, I went back early with her.

This trip was a memorable one. When I met 5 awesome people in my life and we speak the same language - traveling. If there is a chance to travel again with them, I'll say yes. Up to today we will still meet up and having our day out together. Till next trip insha Allah.
