Situated on a companion hillock just southeast of Tughlaqabad, Adilabad Fort (also known as Muhammadabad) was built in 1325 CE by Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Although smaller in scale, its thick stone ramparts, bailey courtyards, and scenic elevated views over the surrounding rural Aravalli valleys make it an atmospheric destination for offbeat heritage explorers.

Connected to Tughlaqabad Fort by a 228-meter arched stone causeway that once crossed an artificial lake, this fortified pentagonal tomb holds the graves of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq and his son Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Its sloping 75-degree battered sandstone walls, battlements, and crowning white-marble dome served as an architectural prototype for later Sultanate tombs.

Tughlaqabad Fort Stone Citadel (1321 CE)

Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, Tughlakabad, New Delhi 110044

Built in just four years by Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq in 1321 CE, Tughlaqabad was the third historic city of Delhi. Stretching along a rocky Aravalli ridge, its cyclopean defensive granite walls rise up to 30 meters with two-tier battlements, subterranean granaries, and 13 surviving gates. Legend holds that Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya cursed the fort to remain deserted or inhabited only by nomadic Gujjars.
