Uparkot FortDay 1

Day 1

Uparkot Fort

An ancient hilltop citadel believed to have been founded originally around 319 BCE, featuring deep stepwells, rock-cut Buddhist caves, and massive old battle cannons.

Mahabat Maqbara Complex

Day 1

Mahabat Maqbara Complex

Two mausoleums side by side, finished in 1892 and 1896: one for Mahabat Khan II, Nawab of Junagadh, the other for his minister Bahauddin Hussain Bhar. What makes them worth the detour is the mix — Indo-Islamic domes and arches carrying Gothic windows, silver doors, and four minarets with staircases winding up the outside of them, which is close to unique in India. They have been poorly maintained for years and are often locked; the exterior is the visit, and it is enough. Late afternoon light suits the stonework better than midday.
