Desk byline for seed records. Named surveying editors replace this once a trail is verified.
Monolithic granite-dome fort at Bhuvanagiri, about 47 km from Hyderabad. Map line is sourced OSM and Wikipedia pins, not a carved-step track. Days (1) is a day-trek stamp. Wikipedia 609.6 m ASL is a cross-check for the DEM high, not this DataPoint.
Figures marked provisional are seed data and still need verification. Source and last-checked date sit under each cited value.

Option B ingest (2026-08-20): no hiking relation. OSM has historic=castle node 3954691379 and historic=yes way 244004785 (Wikidata Q4901951), a viewpoint, and Bhuvanagiri ruins. Geometry is OSM town node 660695854 → OSM ruins 2145324612 → Wikipedia Bhongir Fort 17°30′56.5″N 78°53′33.6″E (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhongir_Fort, checked 2026-08-20). Pin-to-pin 2D length is not the walking distance on the steps.
DEM high at the Wikipedia coordinate is 614 m (copernicus-dem:glo-30); Wikipedia states 609.6 m ASL at the fortified rock and 184.5 m height from road level. DEM low at the OSM town node is 442 m (ascent 172 m on this pin line). Do not confuse the ~150 m climb with the ~610 m summit ASL. Telangana Tourism / ASI tariff was not fetched (official URL 500 this pass); permit left unverified rather than quoting blog INR 10–15.
Water
No water sources recorded.
Permits & fees
Permit status is unverified. Permit and fee fields were not sourced from OSM. Confirm locally before travel. Official tariff pages were not fetched or did not state a walking/entry fee this pass; left unverified rather than asserted.
