Excursion
Daulatabad
In the twelfth century Bhillama, king of the Yadav Dynasty built an invincible fort at
Daulatabad. Situated on a pyramid-shaped hill, the fort with its slippery gravel pathways,
spiked gates, spiral staircases and dungeons is a sight to behold. The sultan of Delhi Mohammed
Bin Tughlaq was so impressed by the fort that he decided to shift his capital from Delhi to
Daulatabad.
Khuldabad
As per the wish of Aurangzeb, he was buried just a few kilometers from Daulatabad. The monument
has serene austerity. The place is also famous for the Bhadra Hanuman or Hanuman in sleeping
posture.

Here one can see a number of resident and migratory birds. The Gyaneshwar Udyan is a planned
garden on the lines of Bridavan gardens and the Moghul gardens in Kashmir. Over years the place
has been a heaven for nature lovers.
