Option B ingest (2026-08-20): Overpass name queries did not return a Khilla Ghanpur / Ghanpur Fort hiking relation or path. The map pin is Wikipedia 16°33′44″N 78°3′25″E (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khilla_Ghanpur, checked 2026-08-20). Length 2 km is the lower end of the Wanaparthy district Adventures page range “2-3 km trek from Ghanpur village” (https://wanaparthy.telangana.gov.in/adventures/, checked 2026-08-20), not a measured OSM line.

The same district Ghanpur Fort page and Wikipedia describe two freshwater ponds on the fort that supplied drinking water (cited as WaterSource; treat before drinking). No entry fee is stated on those pages; permit left unverified. History (13th-c. Kakatiya / two hills) is attributed in Wikipedia, not stored as DataPoints.
