Weekend Getaway.....Hyderabad

Hyderabad - A City caught between the Modern and the Ancient.

Charminar






Indian Coins from all ages - One can even find a 50 paise coin being sold for Rs 20 if you are gullible enough to buy.
(On the streets of Charminar)











Mecca Masjid - Place of the 2007 bombings
برحمته












Cyber Towers - The first building of the IT revolution, which spawned the Hi Tech City. Houses Microsoft, Oracle Corp and other majors.












Golconda Fort
Breathtaking Beauty!!
















Golconda Fort - I am the King of the world!















IMAX - Entertainment Guaranteed.
Don't miss the 3D Show, House of Horrors.














Hussain Sagar Lake - Buddha















Osman Sagar Lake
(On the way to Chilkur Balaji)












Kacheguda Railway Station - Pack up boyz..



And thats just for starters, Do not miss the Laser show at Lumbini park, Boat Ride, NTR Gardens, Film city, Necklace road, Salar Jung Museum, Birla Mandir & the Tombs.

To quote a guide verbatim "Hyderabad....three things famous, One is Hyderabad Biryani...... Second Sherwani...... and third is Pareshani"

Well, whaddaya know.....Can't vouch for that one, but It's definitely not a place to miss, if you can pretend to ignore the pathetic road sense of the people, that is.
