At a distance of 25 km from Mahabubnagar is the Koilkonda Fort which used to serve as the navy outpost through the Qutub Shah dynasty. There is a short hike by way of a gorge which can take you to a flight of stairs leading to the fort. If you may be planning a go to to Gulbarga you’ll find a way to plan it around the time the Car pageant is organized here.
