Telangana is famous for its rocky terrain and the local people have justified it even more with some really awesome forts. Bhongir Fort or the Fort at the Hilltop is one such example. One may visit this place for a beautiful view of the Deccan plains. The vast stretches of farms, forests and wastelands present a picturesque setting. Due to its strategically placed location, the fort played a great role in shaping the history of the Deccan region.
The Bhuvanangiri Fort has an oval shaped architecture and two entry points. The fort is properly fortified with a moat, to make it impregnable. It also has underground chambers, trap doors, secret places for weapon storage and stables. The fort houses two ponds and a few deep wells.
There is a stone wall which is still standing as a compound wall, and laid steps through heavy archways and gates right to the top. A deep gash in the rock was dammed up at several places, thus creating a series of reservoirs collecting rain water.
