6 Reasons why you MAY tour Hyderabad - Must See places / To Do's.

This is a compilation of the places of interest / things that Hyderabad alone has in the whole of India which should definitely make your visit memorable and worthwhile.

#1. Dialogue in the Dark

Ever wondered what it would be like to be in an exhibition in complete darkness? I know this may have been in some of your nightmares but imagine what it would be to feel the exhibits with all your other senses apart from your eye sight. This is the magic a.k.a the difference this exhibition offers as normal exhibitions present a wide range of things we can SEE.

You are guided through this exhibition by a visually impaired (blind) person. You would be taken to different places like parks / restaurants / boat ride etc., all in pitch darkness led by this guide of yours.

This is an exhibition and the only one of its sorts in the whole of World and it was started by a really empathetic person named Andreas Heinecke.


Location : InOrbit Mall, Hitech city,Hyderbad

In India, this exhibition is only in Hyderabad.

#2. Ramoji Film City

This place has a Guinness World record to its name.Come'on how many times do you get to see places that hold a World record ? ..  In India, it is pretty rare ! ( Here you can find people who do things that don't really require any talent / effort like "Growing Beard" or "Longest Nails" with World Records ) However in this case, Guinness World Records certifies Ramoji Film City as The World's largest Film Studio Complex

For all those who are always amazed by the magic of celluloid / cinematography, this is the ideal place to visit once in a lifetime.There are/has been people who have been able to touch and inspire millions of people through the magic of cinema.For them Cinema is more than an entertainment avenue, it is an Art, a Musical instrument whose tones have to be played to the right tone with utmost perfection to produce the wonderful song named Cinema.

As a tribute to such people Mr.Ramoji ( and of course as a business venture ;) ) started the cinema studio complex "Ramoji Film City"

Location : Outskirts of Hyderabad.Suggest to hire a Cab to reach this place.

#3. Famous Ice Cream

Ice Cream is one delicacy that attracts people of all age groups.Here in Hyderabad you can taste Natural Hand made Ice creams. Believe me when I say the taste is Unique and very different from the normal ice creams we eat.With a plethora of varieties ( depending on season ) ranging from Chickoo / Mango / Seetaphal etc these Ice creams are worth a try.These are natural flavors ( not artificial ) and believe me the value for money is the best you can find in the whole country.


Location : Mozamjahi market (Reach there and ask anyone, they'll tell you the place ;) )

#4. Chudi bazaar - near char Minar

This place is a strict No-No for Men and men who want to stop their wives from spending on trivial jewellery.However this palce is pretty much similar to chandinin chowk except that this place is mainly  for Bangles. You would be amazed by the varieties of bangles they have to offer.For Women this is one place you should not miss out when you visit hyderabad.

Location : Near Char Minar

#5. Maula Ali .. a climb on the rocks ! 

This one is STRICTLY for people who love trekking .. Hyderabad landscape is symbolised by its rugged rocks and lack of green terrian which is "SO TYPICAL" of eastern ghats (to speak of ) ... You would get really good rocks for boulder-ing / trekking / rappelling. GHAC ( Greater Hyderabad Adventure Clubs - http://meetup.ghac.in/ ) frequently organizes trips. Maula Ali is not the only place ..  you may take good advice from GHAC .. depending on what spots they organize.
