Naya Qila by Hyderabad Trails
Naya Qila is a hidden gem of Hyderabad and HydTrails Walks gathered a bunch of us to explore the splendour, the engineering and the gore behind these silent stone walls. Located beside Golconda, this historical place marks the conquest of Aurangazeb. Saurabh, our leader for the day, took us through the marvels--The Tombs, The Trees and the stories behind it, Janana (ladies mosque) of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. But the highlight was reaching the Majnu Burj, where the cannon used for the war with Aurangazeb was used and watching the picturesque sunset that marked it as a trail worth the effort. Our group was a wonderful mix of students, young parents, enthusiastic photographers and eager historians and authors. Thank you, Hyderabad Trails for this!
