" AN EVENING WALK THROUGH THE HEART OF THE FORT "
                 
            Yesterday, after a couple of months ago I decided to stroll inside Tippu Sultan Fort. The photos of the fort and its government buildings with a backdrop of misty sky & greenery is one of the most nostalgic things you could experience in your lifetime. Enjoy this page with a hot sip of coffee or tea.(Highly Recommended) Iam guaranteeing my viewers, for a moment they will get transported through time in some South Indian hill stations or in the North Indian winter.
