Hyderabad → Basavakalyan Fort – One‑Day Trip Overview*

Location & History
Basavakalyan (formerly Kalyani) is a historic town in Bidar district, Karnataka, about 150 km north‑west of Hyderabad.
The Basavakalyan Fort was built in the 10th century by the Chalukyas and later expanded by the Rashtrakutas, the Bahmani Sultanate, and the Mughals. It served as a strategic stronghold on the Deccan trade routes.
Inside the fort you’ll find the Brahma Jinalya (a Jain temple), the *Shivakami Amman temple*, and remnants of ancient water tanks and gateways that reflect the blend of Hindu, Jain, and Islamic architecture.

Visiting Time
Fort opening: 9 am – 5 pm (daily).
Ideal visit length: 2–3 hours to explore the main gate, the Jain temple, and the ramparts.
Entry fee: ₹15 for adults, ₹5 for children (subject to change).

Best Season
October – February: Pleasant weather (15‑30 °C) and clear skies make walking the fort comfortable.
Monsoon (June‑September): Heavy rains can make the stone paths slippery and some sections may be closed.
