its surroundings have lots of memorable places to visit. Rachakonda is one of them. We were bored from our daily routine so wanted to spend our day outside to make it memorable. We started searching for a place where we can go and come back in one day. We shortlisted Rachakonda. Rachakonda is a village with a population of 1300 which is the 7th least populous village, located in the Narayanpur sub-district of yadadri Bhuwangiri district in the state Telangana in India. The nearest town of the village is Nalgonda and the distance from Rachakonda village to Nalgonda is 65 km. Rachakonda is famous because of its ancient memories. It reminds us of the 14th century. It has an old fort which on the name of this place "Rachakonda Fort".

We started at about 09:30 AM because it is approximately 55.5 km from Hyderabad and reached there by 11:20 AM. We got some traffic on the way also. There is no route for Bus services or train service to the fort. You can only go by cab or your car. Cabs will charge you about Rs.1,000-Rs.2,000. We had our car so we went in our car. Rachakonda Fort was constructed by the Padmanayak in the 14th century AD. Till that time the padmanayakas had their capital at Anumagallu. At around 1360 AD the capital was shifted by Anapotanayaka from Anumagallu to Rachakonda where he built a strong fort. Anapotanayaka split the kingdom into two for administrative Convenience and his brother Madanayaka ruled from Devarakonda was subservient to Rachakonda. The Padmanayakas lost control of Rachakonda in 1430 AD to the Bahamians but held onto Devarakonda till 1475 AD when the Padmanayaka kingdom was finally extinguished and they joined the court of Hampi Vijayanagar kingdom.

Here, You can see the main entrance of this Fort. This Fort is made up of stones. And now this is fully destroyed in lack of maintenance but at some places, you can see some symbols like old pillars of the fort and places where the king and the soldiers of the fort used to stay. Here more stones are in such way which are creating different paths and it is on the high place of the village. There is a lake also between the Fort. when you will go inside you will need to climb and go upward through the stony path. Hope you can enjoy this place a lot.
