Itinerary

Day 1 · Hubli- Bijapur

  1. Gol Gumbaz

    one hour Admission included

    Prepare to be utterly astonished by the Gol Gumbaz, the iconic mausoleum of Muhammad Adil Shah. Its sheer scale is breathtaking, boasting the second-largest unsupported dome in the world. But the true magic lies within its famous "Whispering Gallery" – where even the softest whisper echoes and carries across the vast circular hall, creating an acoustical wonder that will leave you amazed.

  2. Stop 2

    one hour Admission included

    Often hailed as the "Taj Mahal of the Deccan," the Ibrahim Rauza is a testament to delicate artistry and profound beauty. This exquisite complex, comprising a mausoleum and a mosque, is adorned with intricate carvings, stunning calligraphy, and serene gardens. As you wander through its peaceful grounds, you'll feel transported to a realm of poetic beauty and architectural perfection

  3. Malik-i-Maidan

    one hour Admission included

    Prepare to be dwarfed by the sheer might of the Malik-e-Maidan, or "Lord of the Battlefield" – one of the largest medieval cannons in the world. Weighing an astonishing 55 tons, this bell-metal behemoth is adorned with a fascinating muzzle depicting a lion swallowing an elephant, a powerful symbol of its destructive force

  4. Stop 4

    Bijapur Fort, often called the "Agra of the South," is a sprawling historical complex in Karnataka, India, that offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural and military prowess of the Adil Shahi dynasty.

Imagine thousands of worshippers kneeling on the 2,250 black squares that mark their prayer spots – a silent testament to centuries of devotion

    Venture to the enigmatic Bara Kaman, an unfinished mausoleum with a captivating story. Conceived to surpass even the grandeur of the Gol Gumbaz with its twelve towering arches, its incomplete state only adds to its mystique. Standing amidst these colossal, unfulfilled dreams, you'll ponder the ambition of Ali Adil Shah II and the twists of fate that left this magnificent vision suspended in time
