The Journey to Hyderabad

Date: 05 and 06 Jun 2015

This one of the first places we have visited in Telangana. Me and my wife visited this plan after our marriage. We went to the munnar as part of our honeymoon trip. We choose the hyderabad as part of my wife birthday celebration. 

I went to the Nagpur for the business meeting on Thursday and asked my wife to come to Hyderabad on Friday morning, So that I could also come from Nagpur to Hyderabad. I went to the Nagpur by flight, which was first time experience and was thrilling. After the meeting, I departed the Nagpur in the night and my wife departed the Bangalore by bus. My wife was new to the bangalore and booked a ticket in private bus, but the bus had mechanical issue hence it could not come on time and did not arrange the alternative bus as well, this was frustrating for sometime, after 2 hours, they arranged the alternate bus. 

The next day morning, we both reached to the common location and went to the hotel. We began our day with having breakfast and thought of visiting the Ramoji Film City by the public transport as we know Telugu and we thought we could manage but most of hyderabadis especially Auto drivers, Bus conductors speak in Hindi/Urdu to the tourist people. We somehow reached the Ramoji Film City. That was the day pass and enjoyed the overall experience of the City. This has been built beautifully and people can spend even two days here without boring. I liked this city very much. I captured the beautiful photo of butterfly in the park.

We had nice hyderabad biriyani,Ice creams,evening snacks etc. There was summer event for classical dance function organized in the evening and it was really fun.

We came to the hotel which is located in Banjara Hills, and have dinner in the night. The Food is really amazing in Hyderabad. I love the food in this city. The Food quantity is better than Bangalore hotels. They give higher portion , quality and taste wise, Hyderabad is better than bangalore always. 

The next day, the plan was to visit the places in Hyderabad. We first went to the Charimnar, then Golkonda hills , Qutb Shahi Tombs, and then NTR Gardens near Hussain Sagar. All these places are beautiful as the names. The Charminar should have maintained better, this is in old city hyderabad and congested to visit this place. Shopping in hyderabad is ok , some items are cheaper and some are expense than we think.

Golkonda Forts with Hyderabad City



















Golkonda hills is you have to hike for 2KMs to the top, all you are going to experience the rocks and fort ruins along with the trail. We could not go to the top of hills as we had heavy baggage which we couldn't carry. NTR Gardens are beautiful and spent some decent time in the evening , There was also celebrations going on as part of Telangana Formation Day . We headed back to the hotel in the evening.

The next day morning, we booked flight from Hyderabad to Bangalore. We went to the Airport by Auto and spent some time in the afternoon in the airport and also had delicious sandwich at restaurant. We boarded the flight, that is first experience to my wife. It was great journey overall and worth visiting the hyderbad for 2-3 days vacation.
