PICS: The famous ‘Tipu’s Lookout’ at Lakdikapul is all set to be history
Hyderabad: Once seen as a lookout point for the people entering
into the limits of Hyderabad city, the rocks near the famous ‘Tipu’s Lookout’
at Lakdikapul chiseled and ground to dust.
No
surprise if this spot is overlooked as just another heritage sites losing to
encroachers.
The
lookout was constructed by Tipu Khan Bahadur, one of the confidant and
equestrian trainer of H.E. Mir Mahboob Ali Pasha the sixth Nizam nearly 150
years ago to keep an eye on any enemy trying enter into the city and also to
get a perfect view of city monuments.
Tipu’s
Lookout was built by Tipu Khan Bahadur nearly 150 years ago as a watchtower for
keeping an eye on any enemy trying to spring a surprise on the tented city near
Fateh Maidan.
The
location lost its importance and the city expanded enveloping everything.
Trekkers have also used the rock for climbing and exploring the city for some
time.
