What you need: this is an easy trek, but requires a good deal of endurance as the steps are quit steep at most places! the entire trek should stay within a budget of Rs 300

Take a hat

Once you reach the fort you will realize that this is a national monument and is protected by the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) so please do not vandalize.
If you arrive early enough you can beat the gatekeeper and can get a free entry, however you'll have to pay it when you come back down! ha ha! the rates are different for children and adults and citizens of India and Foreign tourists.
Overnight stay is prohibited on the fort. The trek should take around 90mins for a regular person, the steps are very steep for most of the climb!

ReplyDeleteThe fort was built by Tipu Sultan in 1794 and named after his mother, Jamalabee. He decided to build a fort there, as he was impressed by the massive granitic rock which was suitable for the construction of a strong fort. The fort was built over the ruins of an older structure.
