About HyderabadHyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh of South India.Located on the Deccan Plateau, Hyderabad is the fifth largest city of India. The 400 year oldcity is located on the banks of the River Musi.

Hyderabad was founded by Muhammad Quli Qutab Shah, the fifth sovereign of the QutabShahi dynasty, in the year 1591. Initially, Golconda was the capital of the Qutab Shahi dynasty,who ruled over Deccan during the period 1512 – 1687.

The name Hyderabad literally means ‘city of Hyder’ since it was named after Queen HyderMahal, wife of King Qutab Shah. With the help of Iranian architects, Hyderabad was erected in agrid format. The city was modeled on the city of Isfahan of Iran. With the construction ofHyderabad city, it became the capital city of Qutb Shahi rulers.

The cultural facet of Hyderabad is distinctly different from the Telugu culture of the rest ofAndhra Pradesh. Hyderabad has a rich Hyderabadi culture of its own, a blend of Persian andTelugu cultures, which flourished under the reign of the Qutab Shahis.

Hyderabad is also known as the ‘City of Nizams’ since it was ruled for a long time by theNizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were famous as the wealthiest royals in the history of India.

Today, Hyderabad is one of the leading centres of information technology. The emergingBiotech and IT industries have given the city a global platform. The thriving tourism and ITindustries have brought Marriott, Novotel and Taj, the giants in the hospitality industry, to thismetropolis.

Tourists who visit Hyderabad can witness the blend of ancestral heritage and moderntechnology. The deep rooted cultural history of Hyderabad is evident from its monuments,mosques, temples, varied art forms and crafts. The monuments, minarets and mosques ofHyderabad with its impressive architectural style attract visitors.

Charminar, Jama Masjid, Golconda Fort, Salarjung Museum, Osmania University, PaigahTombs, Qutub Shahi Tombs, Raymond Tomb, Birla Mandir, Hussain Sagar, Ramoji Film City,etc. are some of the popular attractions of the city of Hyderabad.

Hyderabad also celebrates the Deccan Festival is organised by the Department of Tourism,Andhra Pradesh, every year on 25th February. This five-day long festival reflects the cultureand highlights Hyderabad's arts, crafts, culture and the famous Nawabi cuisine.

The pulsating nightlife of Hyderabad is also a major tourist attraction. The bylanes of theCharminar and the authentic Hyderabadi and Andhra cuisine has made Hyderabad a haven forshopaholics and foodies. The best time to visit Hyderabad is October to March.

Featured review about HyderabadPerfect place for people fond of food and travelling"Travellers should visit the destination for a must because its a must to have place on your Top100 places to visit before you die. Hyderabad has national heritage, modern based engineeredarchitectures, king-sized malls, unmatched Delicious Biryani, zoos, parks and a many morethings.

Some places to must visit here are:

1)Golconda Fort2)Charminar3)Bawarchi(Restaurant famous for its biryani)4)Nehru Zoological Park5)Hussain Sagar Lake6)Lumbini Park7)NTR Garden8)Inorbit Mall

Starting with Golconda Fort, it's a place which is of National Heritage for our country. The mostdifferent things I found here is to visit such a great heritage and Fort, the entry fee here is only 5rupees(only for Indians, without cameras). And apart from that, if you look for a guide who willexplain you some good to hear stories about the fort with no truth in it, then it will cost 600-800rupees(price varies on number of people for each guide). So coming to Golconda Fort, its an

Page 3/15

example of beauty as well as great civil engineering. Yes, you heard it right, the kind of naturaltechnology and engineering implemented here is almost for today's civil engineers to even thinkof. One echo system for alert sound is being implemented here. One sound for echo is setup atthe entrance. Another sound of it is being implemented at King's room which is about 500 feetabove the entrance. The reason for echo sound is for alert whenever any enemy will come,then King will be alerted and he will escape from the Fort through a secret way which will takehim out to Charminar, about 20 kms away from Golconda. This is one of the engineeringimplementation at Golconda. Apart from it, a numerous designs are done like natural AC,cooling water from dry sand, both dargah and temple at a place.

One more place which everybody will love to go is Hussain Sagar Lake. Its near park calledLumbini, which is a nice place to hangout for children's and adults also.

In the middle of lake there is small port where the Hussain Statue is present. To go to the statueat the port, small boats are there which costs you about 50 rupees for that. Apart from that, ifyou just want to have a thrill adventure in lake then even speed boat and jetski is there for yourride. And yes, for jetski obviously some rules and requirements are there like license. So mostof the people don't get often the luxury to go through jetski. And if you have want to have aluxurious experience at lake, then cruise is also there which takes about 1. 5 hours to completethe trip. Also for adventure, at Lumbini park, some sort of Bungee Jumping is there which is agreat fun for thrill liking people.

NearBy Lumbini Park, there is a place called Birla Mandir which is another great place to goonce. The whole temple is made of pure white marble and gives a feeling of peace to go there.

Now coming to Local Foods and Shopping, nothing is better than a full plate Biryani atBAWARCHI, travelling to Hyderabad is incomplete without this place. It also contains somegreat collection of North Indian Foods like Chole Bhature, Chat, Thali but famous only forBiryani. Some other places famous for their Biryanis are Paradise, Hyderabad House. And ifyou are a lover of pastries and Bakery Biscuits then go to India's no. 1 store Karachi Bakery.For shopping, when sale season comes then malls like GVk, Inorbit are well and good. But ifyou want to have non-branded, local market shopping then go to Sindh Colony.

Coming to Inorbit mall, it can be said as one of the most modern and well engineered place anda great place to come with family and enjoy. Consists of everything from top to bottom. Brandedshowrooms, foodCourt, PVR Cinemas, Multi Cuisine Open Air Restaurant, Play House(a greatplace to spend time), ATMS etc.

And for software engineers, its a mecca. I am not taking it to any career perspective orsomething but really place like MindSpace is one of its own. The whole hi-tech city is built bycutting a mountain and making it into an ecospace for technology and Nature.

The kind of activities which kept me busy were the Great National Heritage of our country,seeking fun and adventure, experimenting the great food speciality of the city and interaction

Page 4/15

with the people out there. I stayed there for 2 months and despite being not a South Indian Inever faced any language or communication problem. The local people there are having a mostwelcoming nature and cared for us like their own family member.

My advice to travellers will be look for Cabs while travelling as Metros are recently started andnot properly routed yet. Local trains can be a good option or you can use local city buses if youare comfortable enough. If you have limited money budget for travelling then please be awareof shopping at Malls as it may be a great money spender for you.

Have a nice trip to all the readers and enjoy the place to the fullest." - Saurabh Joshi,Bhubaneswar, 2 months ago

Hot Hot Hyderabad!"If you are crazy about history, then you must have a glance of heritage of Qutb shahi andNizam eras.

My Experience in Hydrabad,"I visited Hydrabad with my wife in February.It was quite hot there. The South Indian dishes arereally good, but for North Indians like us it is difficult to continue for long. A lot of places werethere where one can visit. The must visit places are . 1.Salurjung Meuseam,2.Golkunda Fort3.Hussain Sagar Lake and of course 4. The Charminar. People in Hydrabad is very friendly.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: In Hydrabad there is a lot of good restaurants of multi cuisine.Since people of Andhra Pradesh like we Bengolis, die for Rice and spicy food, we enjoyed it.You may visit the Market around Charminar where you can find brass murals, bangles of allkind, Pearls etc. For handicraft items you may visit the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh show room forhandicrafts 'Lepakshi'
