Me: Am going to hyderabad this weekend for a friends wedding. Any interesting tourist places around hyderabad?
Friend: Ramoji Rao film city is there
Me: Err. I dont want to see any film cities. Any good hill station, old temples there?
Friend: Inside Ramoji Rao film city, everything is there
Me: !!!!!!!!
P.S. Anyone knows of good places around hyderabad, apart from Ramoji Rao film city?



NTR garden, Prasad IMAX, Gandipet, Hussain Sagar + speedboating + Buddha, Birla Mandir + Planetarium.
Forgot…
Golconda fort, Salarjung Museum, Qutub Shahi Tombs
Have heard that the Golconda fort is good. Especially in the evenings when the entire fort is lit beautifully with lamps
And dont forget to buy karachi biscuits from there
or hydrebad bangles ;p
its famous for its pearl markets at the foot of the charminar – one of the must see sites there
if u can go to warangal – theres supposed to be a star shaped temple – a slight distance from hydrebad i think forgot
Golconda Fort, NOT WINE!
Tank Bund, and generally the old city…
Apart from other things above, Hyderabad Central. I stay in ISB, let me know if u wanna visit ISB, i can be ur host.
lumbini park, hussain sagar lake…:)
Bangles-aaa? Yaarukku?
I know only 7 hills in Andhra Pradesh, that is Tirupathi.
The place I’ve heard the most is Necklace Road!
Birla Manthir and Golconda fort are good places to visit… You can easily spend a day there… good hike too…
Charminar, though they dont allow you to get up to the tower, you can just pass by (but it wouldnt be maintained properly and also it is much congested place like our Ranganathan Street
)
Ferro, dont miss Golconda fort…you can see the cell where ‘Badhrachala’ Ramdas spent his days when he was in captive..also, a Ram temple inside the fort…
Ferro .. continuing on from our previous discussion – looks like Golconda it is!
Ride the metro! Well, sort of! See the stations at least!

Sundaresan and RC,

Ravi,
Hyderabad has a metro?
Sanghi Temple – on the way to Ramoji Film City(during evening)
As suggested by Visitra Warangal..(1.5-2 hrs journey from hyd) Again a temple, very old n beautiful one..you can spend whole day at warangal
Few more temples around hyderabad – Yadagiri gutta, Basara..
If not visited before – Nagarjuna Sagar
You will get Karachi biscuits from Karachi bakery, It’s near to Abids, one outlet is thr in Prasadz or Central..don’t rem exactly whr..but better place is go to their bakery near abids..Ask autowala to drop you at Karachi Bakery(Exact location is Mojamjahi Market
Hyderabad doesn’t have metro..have local trains..It doesn’t cover all places, but yeh good exp..
Veena,
Thanks a lot. Will visit golconda and this Abids place!
1. Shilparamam – for Handicrafts.
2. Warangal – ruins of Kakatiya kingdom.
3. Nagarjuna Sagar – the Buddhist site of Nagarjunkonda & Amravati + Dam.
