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.
Location : Maula Ali in Google Maps
