Explore one of Delhi's lost capital cities, Tughlaqabad with DelhiByFoot!
A behemoth of a fort-city.....the ruins of which still stand tall after 700 years....with its imposing walls, strong bastions, remains of medieval baolis (step-wells), deep dark chambers and secret passageways!!!
On the southern fringes of Delhi, by the bustling Mehrauli-Badarpur Rd., seemingly frozen in the pages of time, stands the largest and most strongly built fort-city of Delhi, built in a mere 4 years, designed to be self-sufficient and strong enough to withstand long enemy seizes.
But for this 3rd fort-city of Delhi built in the 14th century, built as the ultimate challenge to the marauding Mongol invaders, destiny had something else in store and within a short period of 2 years transformed the well-planned fort-city to a hastily abandoned city....and legends talk of how the mammoth fort crumbled, literally, under the burden of a very intriguing 'curse'!!
But who's powerful curse was it? Which "Saint" cursed the fort-city? What had the "Sultan" (King) done and whom had he displeased to earn the wrath which laid his grand plans to waste and sorrow?!!
Leave Delhi's chaos & crowds behind and enter a zone of hauntingly beautiful ruins and their melancholic solitude; let out the curious-child inside you as you climb atop the once fortified ramparts or descend into medieval stepwells or traverse the paths where once richly caparisoned elephant climbed with their Sultans & Princes, you through lost pages of history to uncover mysteries of Delhi’s glorious past as he shares stories of empires & battles of a bygone era inside the sprawling Tughlaqabad Fort ruins on a Sunday morning!!!
A good opportunity for families with children, photographers and nature lovers, as the fort of Tughlaqabad is perhaps the most exciting morning hike from our team, with nuggets of history at every turn of this ill-fated gigantic fort-city.
The presentation will be done in English and a smattering of Hindi/Urdu.
