Places to visit

Birla Mandir
Birla Mandir, a pure white marble temple dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara, is built on a hillock called Kala Pahad, one of the Naubat Pahad twins. The temple complex lords over its equally celebrated surroundings comprising the imposing Secretariat buildings, the azure-blue waters of Hussain Sagar, the serene and halcyon Lumbini Park, the luxurious Public Gardens dominated by the Asafjahi-style Legislative Assembly complex and the Reserve Bank of India.


Charminar
Charminar is always on the top of the mind of any tourist visiting Hyderabad. Built by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah in 1591, this beautiful colossus in granite, lime, mortar and, some say, pulverised marble, is the mascot of this beautiful city.


Chow Mohalla Complex
Built in several phases by the Nizams between 1857-1869, this is now one of the heritage buildings. The complex comprises four palaces in Moghal and European styles, of which the main palace is double storeyed with the others being single-storeyed blocks. Located near Charminar - Himmatpura.


Golconda Fort
It is one of the famous forts of India. The name originates from the Telugu words “Golla Konda” meaning "Shepherd's Hill". Originally a mud fort founded by the Kakatiya Kings of Warangal during the 13th century, Golconda attained glory under the Qutub Shahi dynasty (1518 to 1687). The first three Qutb Shahi kings rebuilt Golconda, over a span of 62 years. This is where the priceless Kohinoor diamond was found. Added attraction here is an enchanting sound & light show in the evenings.

Qutub Shahi Tombs
These stately domes form an umbrella over the tombs underneath which rest the majestic kings of the Qutub Shahi dynasty in peace. The tombs, built in an Indo-Persian style, were designed and commissioned by the Qutub Shahi rulers themselves. The Tombs are open to visitors on all days except Fridays.
