Trip to Bidar

traveldonkey · Jan 9th, 2007, 01:47

The opening line of LP states: No one goes to Bidar and it's not clear why? Can somebody answer it for me?

On a more serious note... it would be great if there are any places I am not supposed to miss in Bidar. I am planning the trip in Feb.

Bidar is all about the fort, nothing of any significance other than that- well worth it

The fort.

The Sikh gurudwara.. "The Amritsar of the South"

I found the place nice and peaceful.

Bidri work .. interesting to see the craftsmen at work on this.
originally comes from Bidar, though AP is now a prominent centre for this too.

nothing else, really, but the last I visited was four or five years ago

Except that during prohibition in Andhra Pradesh it was a favourite place for some Hyderabadis to go get drunk
(its about 130km away and close to the border)

I was there around 6 months back or so. The fort is the main attraction ( in fact that is the only place i could cover since I didnt have much time. ).

Here are some snaps of the Bidar fort..

It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
