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?

Have heard that the Golconda fort is good. Especially in the evenings when the entire fort is lit beautifully with lamps

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 :))

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
