Tughlaqabad Fort

Good place something good to be explore History Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

Great fort, and because we went early, the lovely security guard gave us a tour. Lots of monkeys, parakeets, large birds, and a few sweet dogs. Very interesting and well preserved!

Tughlaqabad Fort, a 14th-century marvel in Delhi, is a must-visit for history buffs! Built by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq in 1321, this massive fort with its towering stone walls and 13 remaining gates showcases Tughlaq dynasty architecture. Highlights include the underground passages, rainwater tanks, and the nearby red sandstone mausoleum. The fort’s rocky hill setting and eerie legend of a Sufi saint’s curse add mystique, though it was abandoned just six years after construction. Open 7 AM–5 PM, entry is INR 20 for Indians, INR 200–250 for foreigners. Easily reachable via Tughlaqabad Metro Station, it’s a captivating, slightly haunting glimpse into Delhi’s past. Ghiyasuddins tomb is just adjacent. North Western part of the fort is not open to tourists. Limited car Parking available. Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

the fort was huge and very peaceful with literally no one in sight other than guards at a few places. monsoon made grasses green and fresh so the pictures came out very good. there were a lot of butterflies that were v pretty. but its all stone structure with a top spot from where you can get the city view tho its very mid. and you also get the view of a huge landfill from there and the wind brings the nasty ahh stinking smell of dump to you. the wind was lovely if only the smell didnt piss me off. the tomb is pretty and right across the road from the fort but very small. THE CONS: the nearest metro is tughlaqabad metro thats like 6kms away from the fort and youd get an expensive auto ride from there. alternatively you can take a public bus (very crowdy there for some reason) but takes forever to reach the nearest tughlaqabad village bus stop(280 meters). I took a private bus for ₹10 that dropped me off at okhla mod(turn) 2.5kms away from where i took an auto for 60₹ to reach the fort. there are a lot of monkeys tho you can ask guards to chase them away for you. While returning there were hardly any auto in sight, asked for ₹100 to metro. i took a public bus (717b) from bus stop to reach badarpur border metro that took like almost an hour to reach and i didnt get any seat(maybe because it was school timing).

Important historical site. But not maintained and promoted Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

The parking is very small and parking is free. The ticket price is 20rs if booked online and 25rs if bought offline. There is a tomb on one side of the road and a fort on the other side. The fort is quite big but there is nothing worth seeing. Couples come a lot. Security is quite good. There is no arrangement for food or water inside the fort. There is nothing to eat outside the fort either. Water and drinks are available at a shop outside. Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

Amazing place to visit Only one concern Don't go inside the forest area in the fort as there can be some thieves, as told by gaurd there 😀 Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait

Not going into the historical aspect of this place (Wikipedia). It's a decently preserved monument by ASI. 1. There's is a paid parking nearby. 2. You should get tickets from ASI website in advance. But you can also get the tickets from the counter. I have went to the place during early hours, and I didn't had to pay anything. 3. Some stairs and podium like structures are quite high so please keep your balance and don't do risky stunts and jumps. 4. You might have to walk a little, so wear comfortable clothes and good shoes. 5. Try to visit the place after rains when the sky is clear. The view of Delhi from top is mesmerizing. I went to the place when it was sunny as well as drizzle. It was pure magical. 6. Avoid during summer afternoons when the sun is on top as there's almost no shade to take cover. 7. There are no eateries or washrooms inside. 8. Please don't bring food items inside the monument. And don't litter as there are no bins inside. 9. There are a lot of monkeys. Don't mess with them and don't feed them anything. 10. Enjoy the views! Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No
