It is part of Daulatabad fort premises. Every one who visit Aurangabad for tourism should have this fort in there list. Ambience and cleanliness is good. Government toilet facility is there along with drinking water(subjected to availability of water). To avoid plastic pollution administration took 20 rupee per water bottle refundable deposit which can be collected while exit on showing the bottle. Fort is in well maintained condition.

One of the great monument when you visit DAULATABAD fort. It's a bit orange to brown in colour. It can be seen from different parts of the fort with different view. But trust me.. every time it looks different. The view you get of Chand Minar from fort , wins ones heart.

Terrific place to visit! Was stunned to see how well it was maintained with literally no trash and filth around it unlike many other monuments in India. Although the spiral staircase which leads to the top of the tower has been closed now but this tower is worth tha visit being the second tallest on standing in India.
