The scale distinguishes it from Delhi's more polished garden monuments. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq's fourteenth-century fortification still has heavy sloping walls, gates and traces of a citadel. Seeing the remains as parts of a once-planned city makes the walk more rewarding than searching for one intact building.
What to look for
Massive sloping stone walls and surviving gates
Citadel remains within the former fortified city
Useful to know
Allow time to walk across an extensive, exposed site rather than expecting a compact monument.
Check current access before traveling to the fort; a complete weekly visiting schedule is not established.
