Golconda

Text written in: English

On Sunday, after my cold water shower, I went to Golconda, the ruins of a 15th century fort and the nearby tombs of  Sultan Quli Qutub Khan, one of the fort's rulers. They must have been spectacular back in the day.

 

I managed to get confirmed for a bunk on the train ride back, so I didn't have to sit for 10 hours, although the final confirmation didn't come until the train was already moving. The snacks were just as delicious on the return trip.
