点评:Visiting Golconda Fort was a memorable and emotionally rich experience. Today, the site was lively and vibrant, filled with groups of school children, which gave the place a warm and energetic atmosphere rather than a quiet, museum-like feel.
The entrance fee for foreigners was INR 300, which felt reasonable for a historical site of this scale. We also met a local tour guide who was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. He has been working at Golconda Fort for 45 years, and his passion and deep connection to the place truly brought the history to life. The guiding fee was INR 1,500, and it was absolutely worth it for the insights and stories he shared.
Due to time constraints, we didn’t climb all the way to the top. The fort requires around 500 steps up and another 500 down, and since the site closes at 5:30 PM and we arrived around 3 PM, we didn’t want to rush or risk not making it back in time. Still, even without reaching the summit, walking through the fort and listening to its stories was deeply enjoyable.
Overall, the experience felt authentic, human, and meaningful. Golconda Fort is not just a historical monument—it feels alive, especially when explored with someone who has dedicated a lifetime to preserving its stories.
翻译:参观戈尔康达堡是一次令人难忘且充满情感的体验。今天,这里热闹非凡,到处都是成群结队的学生,营造出一种温暖而充满活力的氛围,而非安静的博物馆式氛围。
外国游客的门票是300印度卢比,对于如此规模的历史遗迹来说,这个价格相当合理。我们还遇到了一位当地导游,他非常友好且知识渊博。他在戈尔康达堡工作了45年,他对这片土地的热情和深厚感情,让历史鲜活了起来。导游费是1500印度卢比,他分享的见解和故事绝对物超所值。
由于时间有限,我们没有爬到堡顶。城堡上下大约需要500级台阶,而我们下午3点左右到达,城堡下午5:30关闭,所以我们不想匆忙赶路,以免错过参观时间。即便未能登顶,漫步于戈尔康达堡,聆听堡内的故事,也令人心旷神怡。
总而言之,这次体验真实、充满人情味,意义非凡。戈尔康达堡不仅仅是一座历史古迹,它仿佛拥有生命,尤其是在与一位毕生致力于保存其故事的人一同探索时,更是如此。
