Midway between Aurangabad and Ellora, Stands this Daulatabad fort aka Debgiri fort. Its a kind of trek to the top of the fort. But if you are visiting on long weekends as we did during the Jan 26 it was really stressful with a very high footfall. One can see the galore of Cannons at multiple places, though the ASI maintaining the site, we hardly found any guide to explain us the history unlike the Ellora. While trekking to the top of the fort we pass through Andheri rasta, Chand Minar, Baradari, Bharat Mata and Ganesh temples. Be aware some crowd can be very disgusting, shouting and yelling a loud and spoiling the atmosphere, taking pics without your consent.

There are layers of the fort right from the entrance that can provide visual evidence to what is written in Wikipedia etc about how it was discovered and exchanged hands. It is advisable to take a guide to explore the place if you want to get into details. The cost of hiring a certified ASI guide is Rs 2050. Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours to complete the trek till the top. The best time to visit the site is post lunch until 6:00pm when it closes. Carry water as you need to trek and climb
