Slide 1 of 8
The fort is marvelous, though effect of time is clearly visible. You should try to visit this fort early in the morning, preferably in pleasant season. The fort gives a great view of the Hyderabad city and nearby landscape is beautiful especially in monsoons. Tickets are available at main entrance and guide service is available at a cost of Rs. 1,000. In order to understand the history, importance and architecture of the fort, it is advisable to hire a guide. The tour of the fort takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
I visited Golconda Fort , and it was a really good experience! It’s definitely one of the best historical places to visit in Hyderabad. The entry ticket costs just ₹25 per person, and there was no waiting time at all, which was great. The fort is huge, and as you climb up, you’ll come across Diwan-e-Aam and Diwan-e-Khas — both are beautiful spots that give you a glimpse into the royal architecture of the past. There’s also a small temple inside the fort, which adds a peaceful touch amidst the grand structure , there are some old canon as well there. You’re allowed to carry snacks inside, but not full food items. The climb to the top is a bit tiring, but totally worth it. Once you reach the top, the view is absolutely amazing — you can see a wide stretch of Hyderabad city from there. It’s truly breathtaking and perfect for photos! I also heard that there’s a secret tunnel or cave that connects Golconda Fort to Charminar, but I couldn’t find where it is. Maybe it’s hidden or closed off now, but it’s quite fascinating to think about how they built such things back then. Overall, it’s a really good place to visit if you’re in Hyderabad — a mix of history, architecture, and great views!
Absolutely amazing historical site! Golconda Fort is a must-visit for anyone in Hyderabad. The architecture is stunning and the fort's acoustic system is truly remarkable - you can hear sounds from one end to the other. The sunset views from the top are breathtaking. In the top one Hindu temple is also there. The light and sound show in the evening brings the fort's rich history to life. For that you have to buy separate ticket. It cost more. Well-maintained and full of fascinating stories from the past. Highly recommend visiting early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat. Well maintained. A perfect blend of history, architecture, and panoramic views!
Golconda Fort is one of the most fascinating historical sites I’ve ever visited! Located just outside Hyderabad, this majestic fort stands as a proud reminder of the region’s rich past. From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by centuries of history, incredible architecture, and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The fort is massive, so it’s best to wear comfortable shoes and carry some water. As you climb to the top, you’ll find ancient gateways, royal chambers, secret passages, and beautifully carved stonework. The acoustic system of the fort is particularly amazing — you can clap at the entrance and hear the sound echo at the top of the fort, which shows the brilliant engineering of those times. The evening light and sound show is absolutely worth attending. It narrates the history of Golconda in a very engaging way, with lights dancing on the walls of the fort and a powerful voiceover that makes the story come alive. Try to reach early so you can explore before sunset and then enjoy the show afterward. Overall, Golconda Fort is a must-visit for history lovers, photographers, and anyone visiting Hyderabad. It’s clean, well-maintained, and truly awe-inspiring. Pro tip: Please make sure to book your tickets in advance — especially on weekends or holidays — as there can be quite a bit of rush at times. It’ll save you time and make your visit smoother.
Golconda Fort is highly praised as a must-visit historical site in Hyderabad, notable for its impressive architecture, rich history, and panoramic city views. Visitors often highlight the fascinating history, impressive craftsmanship, and the spectacular evening light and sound show. However, be prepared for a lot of walking, and some reviews note that it can be a spooky or eerie place in certain areas. Positive aspects Historical and architectural significance: The fort is lauded for its fascinating history and impressive architecture, which many visitors find difficult to imagine being built in ancient times. Spectacular views: It offers a vantage view of the city of Hyderabad, making it a great spot for photography and sightseeing. Light and sound show: The evening light and sound show is a highly recommended experience. Potential for film shoots: Some visitors note that parts of the fort would be suitable for shooting films. Diamond trade history: Historically, the area was famous as the market city for diamond trade, a fact that has given the name "Golconda" a generic meaning associated with great wealth. Potential drawbacks and tips Requires significant walking: The fort is a very large area, and exploring it adequately can take a full day. The walk to the top is steep. Spooky atmosphere: Some areas, like a dark, alley-like area where bats were heard, are described as spooky, although this can also add to the eerie charm for some. Bring essentials: It's recommended to carry a water bottle, sunscreen, a hat or cap, and comfortable walking shoes. Check timings: The fort is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
Fantastic Fort Visit! Went on a weekend and found the crowds manageable. The climb is easy, and the panoramic views from the top are incredibly photogenic. Highly recommend the hassle-free online ticket booking on the spot. If you want to dive deep into the history, a government guide is a must.
I got the chance to visit on a Saturday while in town for work and had a great time. The grounds are large and sprawling, and we easily spent about 2-3 hours exploring here. We arrived just before 11AM, and was not too crowded despite being a popular destination amongst tourists and locals alike. It definitely started ramping up as we were leaving, so it seems like morning hours may be the most peaceful. We chose not to hire one of the tour guides near the entrance and just explored on our own. I found the passageways and arches to be simultaneously maze-like and stunning. Although many parts of the fortress were in disrepair, it was exciting to imagine what daily life was like within these walls. While wandering around, I could visualize the ghosts of past millennia as their footsteps echoed through the magnificent stone walls and structures. After climbing to the top of the fort, we enjoyed the panoramic views of the city while dwelling in the strong, cool breeze, wicking away our sweat from the sunny day. People were genuinely curious to chat and take pictures together, and overall it was a very welcoming experience.
The fort is massive, with strong stone walls, ramparts, and well-preserved ruins. The layout and design are considered very impressive and photogenic. Climbing to the top gives really nice panoramic views of Hyderabad. Especially recommended to visit in the evening or around sunset to get the best views. full tour can take 1.5–2 hours

The Charminar is an unmissable, magnificent piece of Indo-Islamic architecture and the enduring symbol of Hyderabad. Its four towering minarets are breathtaking, especially when illuminated at night. It's a dual experience: appreciating the historic beauty of the monument itself (climb to the top for a view!) while simultaneously navigating the intense, vibrant chaos of the surrounding Old City markets (like Laad Bazaar).

Slide 1 of 8
I visited Ramoji Film City, and it was an amazing experience! The place truly lives up to its reputation as one of the world’s largest film cities. From grand movie sets and beautiful gardens to entertaining live shows, every corner has something unique. The guided tour was well-organized and informative. You really get to see how movies are made behind the scenes. Food and facilities were decent, and the staff was friendly too. Highly recommend spending a full day here to explore everything properly.
Amazing place for movie maniac as a persona can actually visit the the seta where the movies were shot. Blockbusters like Bahubali and Chennai Express and many more were shot over there. The Eco tour has a bird & butterfly park. It even has multiple fine dine restaurant and street food kiosks. All in all a great place to spend with family and friends for the entire day
It's a place you must visit once. Good to go with family to enjoy the beautiful gardens, sceneries, fountains. Also experience the film making process. The management and system is so organised that you will not miss any places to visit. You will have a well spent day.
A lot of impressions and quite impressive. Friend tour guide and I have to say she deserves a five star. Like her humour but for me it was all about the intensions of this place. it is both monumental and emotional. Qudos to everyone who put the work in to keep it alive. Respect. Keep the good work
The overall time we spent was justified for the price of the tickets. It is a well planned and maintained location. You'll definitely love it. Plus-Worthy cinematic experience, lots of different spots to explore, cute buses enroute you to different places, toilets and snacks at almost every stop. Minus-Includes a lots of walk and temperature changes from AC vented halls to again back to normal temperature outside. So, be prepared to deal with regular temperature shifts! Rest it's an awesome place to visit!! Family friendly.👍🤩
Ramoji Film City is a Good place to visit with so much to explore and enjoy. The Eureka zone, Baahubali set, Japanese Garden, Hawa Mahal, European Streets, and Evening Parks are some of the best attractions to experience. It’s perfect for a full-day outing with family and kids. Though outside food isn’t allowed, water bottles and snacks inside are reasonably priced. However we had to wait around 30 minutes for food after 2 PM at the Baahubali set, so the food service could be improved. Management can review about the pricing - it feels slightly high, especially since lunch isn’t included in the package.
Visiting Ramoji Film City with my friends was absolutely epic and fully justifies its fantastic reputation. They have 2 package option AC/ Non-AC. Only difference in AC package it has buffet lunch included, and non-ac doesn't have dinner option one must pay for their own food. It is an full day activity so plan accordingly. We hit all the highlights, and the energy we got from the sheer number of things to do made the whole day fly by—we give the experience a huge thumbs up! The core of the day was the Studio Tour, which was far more impressive than just seeing static sets. Seeing the intricate details on the iconic streets, the massive temple facades, and the beautiful Indian and Japanese Gardens made for incredible photo opportunities for our group. The undeniable highlight of this section was the Bahubali Set. Walking through the gigantic Mahishmati kingdom was surreal; we spent ages exploring the throne room, the massive bells, and the various props, totally losing ourselves in the grandeur of that fictional world. For the adrenaline junkies in our group, the side trip to Sahas Adventure Land was a must. Tackling the ATV track was a blast—it was the perfect way to burn off some energy and enjoy some real speed and dirt-kicking fun, moving from the fantasy sets to a real-life action sequence. We made sure to catch a Live Show, which was the perfect moment to sit down and be entertained. The vibrant choreography and the stunt work were fantastic, adding that extra layer of cinematic excitement. And since we were there during the festival, the Carnival atmosphere topped everything off! The colorful parades, extended timings, and general festive buzz added so much energy and color to the end of our trip. Finally, the Bird Park and Butterfly Park were surprisingly beautiful and provided a wonderful, peaceful contrast to the high-energy sets and adventure sports. It was a serene way to wrap up the sightseeing before heading home. A quick tip for groups: The park is huge, so divide your time wisely! Start with the sets and adventure, and don't forget comfortable shoes. Ramoji is definitely a trip worth taking with your best friends—it’s non-stop fun from the moment you step off the bus!
Ramoji Film City is definitely a must-visit place in Hyderabad — it’s vast, beautifully designed, and offers a unique glimpse into the world of cinema. The guided tour is well-organized, and there are plenty of attractions, sets, and shows for all age groups. However, the entry fee is quite high, and some of the sets and attractions feel a bit outdated. While the overall experience is enjoyable and worth visiting at least once, it would be even better if the management could refresh the sites and reduce the ticket price to make it more affordable for everyone.

The famous Birla temple is almost at the hilltop but has good access upto the top thru narrow motor-able road. The marble temple is really beautiful with very nice statues of Lord Vishnu and Maa Lakshmi. The temple has many floors and each floor gives a good view of the surroundings. One can set a beautiful view of the Hussain Sagar lake, and the newly constructed secretariat building. A beautiful view of the entire city on a clear day! This place is worth visiting, Free entry! it has a lift and free parking which is a boon!
It’s crazy how they completely built it with marble. It looks stunning. Due to the marble, it feels colder inside and when you are roaming around. The view from there is also nice as you can see the whole Hyderabad city. You can also see the Buddha statue, Sagar Lake, etc. If you like architecture, definitely worth visiting
Beautiful temple with peaceful atmosphere and great city view! We visited Birla Mandir on a Saturday — it wasn’t very crowded, and we could enjoy the full view of Hyderabad from the top. The temple is truly beautiful and peaceful. We took an auto from the main road below; it cost ₹80, but the driver dropped us only near the gate, not up to the parking area. Phone keeping, footwear keeping, and bag keeping are all free, but when collecting our footwear, the person there asked for some money. Some renovation work was going on during our visit. One thing that really stood out was the cleanliness of the toilets — much better than most public places in India! Photography and cameras are not allowed inside the temple. To reach the gate, you have to walk up a small road lined with shops from the main road below — it’s only about 200 to 250 meters, so it’s an easy walk even if you don’t have a vehicle. Overall, a must-visit place in Hyderabad for peace, spirituality, and a stunning city view.
Birla Mandir is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Hyderabad. Built with pure white marble, the temple looks stunning especially during sunset. The view of the city and Hussain Sagar Lake from the top is just breathtaking. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, making it a perfect place to sit quietly and relax. It’s very clean and well maintained — definitely a must-visit spot in Hyderabad!
The Birla Temple is honestly one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I’ve visited in Hyderabad. Built on a small hill, the view from the top is absolutely stunning — you can see the city spread out below and the calm waters of Hussain Sagar in the distance. The white marble structure looks elegant and gives off a very serene, spiritual vibe even before you step inside. Climbing up the steps is quite easy and the pathway is clean and well maintained. Once you reach the main temple area, the intricate carvings and the peaceful atmosphere make it worth the effort. What I really liked is that even though it’s a popular tourist spot, it still feels calm and respectful inside. Photography isn’t allowed in the temple premises, which actually helps keep the place peaceful. If you go during the evening, the lighting around the temple makes it look even more magical. There are no big food stalls inside, but there are some near the base, so carrying a water bottle is a good idea. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot — whether you’re religious or just want a quiet, scenic place to spend some time.
Birla Mandir is a beautiful temple with a peaceful vibe. The architecture is really impressive, especially the white marble. The view from the temple is also amazing, you can see the whole city. It’s a nice place to visit if you want to spend some quiet time or just enjoy the serenity. Definitely worth a visit!
There's more to the Birla Temple in Hyderabad. The view at the top of the temple facing the Hussain Sagar Lake and the Secretariat building is mesmerizing and beautiful during evening time. Since cellphones aren't allowed inside temple, we can't capture most of it. There's five smaller mandirs of different gods inside the temple like Hanuman ji, Shiv ji and others. The whole temple is carved out beside a rocky mountain completely made of white marble. It's a must visit when visiting Hyderabad.
It's really a nice spiritual place to have time and there is Venkateshwara swamy idol inside it and you can enjoy the view of traffic from the top and clouds, budha statue, tank bund and secretariat and etc., 4 Wheeler and 2 wheeler parking available Restroom are also available Mobiles are not allowed inside the temple Keep your electronics in cloak rooms which is free of cost.

Former art collection of the Salar Jung family from around the world, now a museum.
Slide 1 of 8
A museum beyond imagination. So many varieties of displays and very well maintained. It has more than 40 galleries and takes around 3-4 hours if one visits all the galleries and devotes reasonable time. I liked the glassware galleries most. Though there are restaurants inside the main building, they offer limited variety of food. So one should plan the visit keeping in view his/ her lunch timings. There are one or two restaurants on the backside of the premises of the museum as well. A must visit place in Hyderabad.
The Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad is one of India’s most remarkable cultural treasures — a vast repository of art, history, and heritage collected from across the world. Situated on the banks of the Musi River near Charminar, it stands as one of the largest one-man collections globally, amassed by Nawab Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, popularly known as Salar Jung III. The museum houses over a million artifacts spanning centuries and continents — from intricately carved ivory pieces, Persian carpets, and Mughal miniatures to European paintings, Japanese porcelains, and ancient sculptures. Every gallery feels like stepping into a different era and culture. The collection is so extensive that even a full day isn’t enough to explore it completely. Among the highlights are The Veiled Rebecca, an exquisite marble sculpture by Italian artist Giovanni Maria Benzoni, and the famous Musical Clock, whose miniature mechanical figures delight visitors every hour.

From Egyptian artifacts to European furniture and Chinese ceramics, it reflects the Nawab’s refined taste and curiosity about the world. The museum is well-organized, though its size can feel overwhelming for first-time visitors. The staff and signage make navigation easy, and photography is permitted in most areas. The museum café and souvenir shop offer nice breaks between long explorations. Overall, Salar Jung Museum is a must-visit for anyone in Hyderabad — not just for its grandeur, but for the incredible stories each artifact holds. It’s a place where art, history, and culture meet, offering a timeless journey through civilizations under one roof.

The clock gallery is also very popular, especially during the hourly chime when visitors gather to watch the antique clock in action. The museum is huge, and it’s easy to spend several hours exploring without even realizing how time passes. The management has maintained the museum very well—clean surroundings, organized galleries, and clear signboards make it easy to navigate. The staff is polite, helpful, and ensures that visitors have a smooth experience. I also appreciate the security and the effort put into preserving such valuable collections.

Stepping inside feels like traveling through time — every corner reflects the glory of art, culture, and history. The Salar Jung Museum is one of the largest national museums in India and among the biggest in Asia.

His vast private collection was later preserved by the Government of India, and the museum was officially opened to the public on December 16, 1951. Walking through the museum, one can witness a breathtaking blend of history and creativity. The famous Veiled Rebecca marble sculpture, the fascinating clock gallery, the impressive arms and armor collection, rare manuscripts, and exquisite wooden furniture are among the many highlights.

What an absolutely massive place! I visited on a Sunday, and while it was definitely buzzing with people, the Salar Jung Museum is just unmissable. Seriously, the collection is mind-blowing—it feels like stepping into a time machine. The absolute star of the show for me was the Musical Clock! Make sure you catch its performance; it’s so much fun to watch. And that incredible Veiled Rebecca sculpture is breathtaking in person.

Most aesthetic and beautiful place in Hyderabad. Perfect for Aqua Babies! 💙 beautiful sigh view at sunrise sunset and evening. You can enjoy the view whole day it has so many parks surrounded and cafes with water view. Parks and adventures. Lumbini park which has boat rides. You can take ride to buddha statue and see good view 360 degree. There is a park near by where theme wise fares are set up like summer fare, plants fare and more.
Excellent artificial-lake. Needs a bit cleaning. Buddha statue is magnificent!! Lake-road is well maintained and an asset for evening walks/Photography.
It's a nice place, has got good aesthetics and the boat ride to buddha is a sweet experience but the smell ruins the whole experience. The water smells real bad, hoping the government comes up with ways to deal with it.
Hussain Sagar Lake offers a peaceful boating experience with fewer crowds, making it ideal for a relaxing day. However, visitors should be aware that parts of the lake contain waste, so caution is advised. Don’t miss the opportunity to capture stunning photos in front of the Buddha statue—it's a must-see spot for any visitor!
Hussain Sagar Lake is one of the most beautiful and iconic places to visit in Hyderabad. The view of the lake, especially with the Buddha statue in the center, is truly amazing — perfect for evening visits and photos. I also tried speed boating here, and it was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend the 4-person boat — it costs around ₹500 and is totally worth it. You can enjoy the ride with friends or family. There’s also a 2-person speed boat, but the 4-person one feels more fun and comfortable. The cool breeze, the lake view, and the overall vibe make it a great spot for relaxation and adventure. Definitely a must-visit place in Hyderabad!
Had a great time with my family . Walked along the border of the lake . Should visit for good conversation with family or friends . A place for photogenic people as the scenery is beautiful . Information abt the past of the lake was given with statues of freedom fighters on the other side of the lake . Must visit for piece of mind and knowledge .
This lake is very big and well maintained park surrounding the lake. The bad part is water stinks very bad. The boat ride to Buddha statue is good. Evening is the good time to visit
Hyderabad’s perfect evening spot, the stretch along Hussain Sagar from the Ambedkar statue to the Secretariat feels like the city’s own Marine Drive. Sunset views from Tank Bund Road, with the Buddha statue reflecting on the lake, are simply stunning.

A Regal Step Back in Time, Just Minutes from Charminar Visited Chowmahalla Palace after exploring Charminar, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. It’s just a short walk from Charminar, and I highly recommend walking through the local market on the way—it's a great way to take in the city's vibrant culture. 🏰 Palace Grounds & Layout The palace complex is beautifully maintained and peaceful, offering a welcome break from the bustle of the nearby market. The grounds are spacious and include three main structures: The Main Darbar Hall, Two adjacent Mahals, and A vintage car and buggy collection at the far end. The Darbar Hall is especially breathtaking—well-preserved, elegant, and rich with history. It gives you a real sense of royal grandeur. The other two mahals, while still interesting, are not as large or impressive. Some portions of those buildings were closed during my visit. 🚶‍♂️ Experience & Recommendation The overall atmosphere is calm and serene, with manicured gardens and shaded pathways that make for a very enjoyable stroll. Compared to other smaller attractions nearby, Chowmahalla is absolutely worth prioritizing, especially if you're short on time. Highly recommended for anyone already visiting Charminar. The combination of historical architecture, royal elegance, and a peaceful setting makes this a must-visit landmark in Hyderabad.
A stunning piece of history! This palace is a must-visit for anyone interested in Hyderabad's rich heritage. The intricate architecture, beautifully maintained gardens, and exquisite marble work make it a treat to behold. The museum inside showcases an impressive collection of artifacts, including antique furniture and memorabilia from the Nizam's era. A truly regal experience that transports you back in time.
A must visit place if you're in Hyderabad, The palace’s grandeur, intricate architecture, and beautifully preserved interiors offered a captivating glimpse into Hyderabad’s regal past. The magnificent Durbar Hall, elegant chandeliers, and vintage displays of the Nizam era added to its timeless charm. While the palace itself is exceptionally well-maintained, the surroundings outside could use better care — the streets and nearby areas appeared somewhat untidy. However, once inside, the serenity and elegance of the palace easily overshadowed that minor drawback. The palace grounds are expansive and offer a peaceful walk through courtyards, fountains, and finely designed halls. The attention to detail in the restoration and upkeep of the interiors is truly commendable. However, I did notice that the area surrounding the palace could use better maintenance. The streets and nearby surroundings felt a bit untidy and lacked the same level of care that the palace itself receives. This contrast was quite noticeable, especially when transitioning from the lively yet cluttered streets outside to the serene and majestic atmosphere inside the complex. Overall, Chowmahalla Palace is an absolute gem in the heart of Hyderabad. Despite the slightly unkempt surroundings, the experience within the palace more than makes up for it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves history, architecture, or simply wants to spend a day immersed in royal elegance. It’s a glimpse into a glorious past that still shines beautifully today.
Amazing place, if the entry was free I would come here every day to relax. The museum aspect itself was really intriguing and fun, it’s always cool to explore the history of the places you stay in,and this one is a must visit for anyone. However, the best part for me was the serenity and peace that I felt while being there, they are doing a great job of cleaning the place up and presenting it beautifully. My only complain is that I came while they’re doing some restoration and had scaffolding around which made the experience less pleasant but not too bad.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chowmahalla Palace, and it was truly a wonderful experience! The palace's stunning architecture, rich history, and beautifully landscaped gardens left me in awe. As I walked through the complex, I felt like I was transported back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. The intricate carvings, ornate domes, and majestic courtyards were breathtaking. It was fascinating to learn about the Nizam's legacy and the palace's significance in Hyderabad's cultural heritage. A must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, and culture!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Jewel of Hyderabad! Just wow! Chowmahalla Palace is easily one of the best places to visit in Hyderabad. 🤩 The palace itself is incredibly beautiful, and the architecture is just mind-blowing. You can feel the history in every corner.🔥 The King's Throne area is simply out of this world! ✨ I was left wondering how someone could build something so impressive and truly majestic. It’s breathtaking!🥰 But for me, the best part was the car museum! 🚗 It's an absolute heaven for any car enthusiast. They have the one and only 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, known as the "Throne Car."👑 Seeing it in person was unreal! They also have other classic cars from Ford and others,🏎️ all over 100 years old. It's like stepping back in time. And there's more! The museum also has an amazing collection of art, along with a display of historical war material. 🗡️🤯 Seeing 100-year-old swords and guns was so fascinating. This place truly has something for everyone. I can't recommend it enough!💯 A definite must-go place in Hyderabad for sure. Don't miss it! 👑
Very beautiful architecture and intricate interiors form a visual treat. The entry price was 150/- for one person for us. The embellishments and collection of the king’s artifacts are all beautiful to look at. We had a nice relaxing walk through the gardens. We spent about 1hour there. There is a canteen inside where you can buy some snacks.
Chowmahalla Palace is a stunning blend of royal elegance and timeless charm. Its grand architecture, intricate carvings, and antique treasures reflect Hyderabad’s glorious past. The serene courtyards and vintage interiors make it a perfect spot for history and art lovers alike. A must-visit for travelers seeking heritage, culture, and beauty in every corner.

Great Place for a Day Out! The Zoo Park is a lovely place to spend time with family and kids. The environment is clean, and there’s a nice variety of animals to see. It’s also a good spot for learning and relaxation. Some animals looked a bit tired or low in energy, so I hope the zoo continues improving care and facilities. Overall, it was a fun and memorable visit — definitely worth checking out!
I had an amazing experience visiting this zoo! The place is beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully organized, making it easy to explore and enjoyable for all ages. The enclosures are spacious, and it’s clear that the animals are well cared for. What really stood out was how educational the experience was—there were plenty of informative signs and friendly staff willing to share interesting facts. It’s the perfect place for families, kids, or anyone who appreciates wildlife and conservation. The food and rest areas were convenient, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. Highly recommend spending a day here—you’ll leave with lots of memories and a greater appreciation for animals and nature!
A wonderful experience for nature and animal lovers! Nehru Zoological Park is one of the best-maintained zoos in India. The park is spacious, clean, and filled with greenery, making it perfect for a family outing. There’s a wide variety of animals and birds — from majestic lions and tigers to playful elephants and beautiful peacocks. The safari ride is a must-try; it gives a real jungle feel! There are plenty of resting spots, food stalls, and clean washrooms, which make the visit comfortable even with kids. It’s also well-managed in terms of crowd and cleanliness. A great place to learn about wildlife and spend a peaceful day close to nature. Highly recommended for families, students, and photography enthusiasts!
I booked my entry ticket directly from the counter and received it as an SMS with a link — a smooth and convenient process. Later, I also purchased the **Tiger Safari** ticket online while boarding the bus, which worked perfectly. I really appreciate this **Digital India initiative** — it makes the ticketing experience much easier and hassle-free. However, I noticed that **many animal enclosures were empty**, with just the nameplates displayed. To add to that, the **Dinosaur Park**, which used to be one of the main attractions, is currently **closed**, which was quite disappointing. Overall, it’s an **okay place to visit** if you have enough time and want a relaxed outing. But if you’re short on time or looking for a complete zoo experience, you can **skip this one** without missing much.
We had an enjoyable visit to the Nehru Zoological Park with the kids! There is a great variety of animals, and the overall experience was fun for the whole family. For practical information, the entry fee is reasonable: ₹100 for adults and ₹50 for children. Parking is also available for ₹100. The battery-operated vehicles are a huge plus, offering convenient drop-off and pick-up services around the park. However, a major disappointment was the Fish Aquarium, which was closed due to a complete power outage. This is frustrating, especially after paying the entrance fee, and the management should ensure backup electricity is available for all paid attractions. Overall, a good place for a family outing, but be prepared for potential closures if the power is out
The zoo is a sprawling green oasis home to a diverse collection of animals in commendable, open-air enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitats. The opportunity to see Asiatic lions, tigers, rhinoceros, and a variety of birds and reptiles is a major draw. The addition of a nocturnal house, aquarium, and a prehistoric dinosaur park shows great imagination and commitment to an educational experience for all ages. However, the enjoyment is tempered by the pricing model. Visitors are required to purchase separate tickets for almost every major attraction beyond the main entrance, including the safari rides, toy train, and battery-operated vehicles (buggies). This a la carte approach means that a family wanting to experience all the highlights faces a surprisingly high cumulative price.
This is a zoo worth seeing. One may see tigers, lions, elephants, deers, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, reptiles and many other animals. The very remarkable things here to see are the nocturnal animals. There is an aquarium also. Transport arrangements inside the zoo are there. There are battery-operated cars and toy trains. Safari is a must see. Both kids and adults will like it and enjoy.
I had a wonderful experience visiting Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad! The environment was clean, green, and beautifully maintained. I got to see many animals and birds for the first time — it was truly exciting and educational. The park does a great job of preserving wildlife and providing a natural habitat for the animals. It’s a perfect place for families, nature lovers, and anyone who enjoys learning about animals. Highly recommended for a fun and memorable day out! ---

Highly recommended for anyone seeking mental peace and spiritual strength.
The place is really good and darshanam is quite easy without much waiting. However, the people outside selling pooja items like coconuts and flowers are charging too much, and there are many fake beggars who keep demanding money, which feels uncomfortable.

The atmosphere inside gives a genuine devotional vibe and it’s a nice place to visit with family or friends for a calm and positive experience.

The boat ride was relaxing, with cool breeze and beautiful views of the city skyline.

I’d definitely recommend going in the evening when the lights come on — the statue glows over the water and it looks absolutely stunning.

Overall, a lovely place to unwind and a must-visit if you’re exploring Hyderabad.

The best time to visit is during the night because the whole statue is lit up you can also get a really nice view of the city. Just keep in mind the boats are very crowded, and the water can be smelly and filthy.

Nicely maintained. The main attraction is the boat ride to the Buddha Status in the middle of water. Out of the various option, we found the Speed Boat to be the best, as you get the thrill of the speedboat cruising through the waters of the lake. It cost Rs 400 for 4 persons. However, you cannot get down at the statue platform for a walk.

The view of the lake during sunset followed by the show makes it a memorable experience. Tickets are affordable, and the park is well maintained. Best to reach by 6 PM to get good seats, as it can get crowded on weekends. A few improvements could make it even better — the seating area and lighting quality can be upgraded. Still, it’s a wonderful outing for families, couples, and tourists visiting Hyderabad. Tip: Arrive early, enjoy a boat ride before the show, and don’t miss the 7:15 PM laser show timing.
It was not worth. But can spend some time. Boating and laser show are good. Nothing more than that. No playground for kids except two rolling one for kids and another for adults.

A beautiful park located in the heart of Hyderabad. It has a boating point, a small children’s play area, and a laser show in the evening which adds to the charm. There are plenty of shady trees where you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze, and the view around the lake is really peaceful and refreshing. However, food options inside the park are quite limited, so it’s better to carry your own snacks or water. The kids’ play area is also small, and there isn’t much entertainment apart from boating. Still, it’s a nice place to spend a quiet evening with family or friends, especially if you just want to relax in nature.

My experience at Taj Falaknuma Palace was truly exceptional. The palace itself is breathtaking, with its royal architecture and rich heritage beautifully preserved. The staff were extremely courteous and attentive, ensuring every moment was special. The food was exquisite, and the overall ambience made me feel like royalty. It’s the perfect place for a memorable celebration or a luxurious getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Hyderabad.
EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED with the overall booking experience. For a property of such high reputation, I expected a far smoother and more professional process. It seems the place is seriously understaffed — calls go unanswered for hours, and it takes multiple attempts just to reach someone. After finally managing to make a booking, I had a few simple queries, but again, no one was available the entire day to respond. I even requested an email confirmation, which was never sent. This complete lack of responsiveness and follow-up really makes me question the quality of their hospitality. We don’t just pay for the stay/food — we pay for the experience and the service that defines a luxury property. Unfortunately, that sense of care and attentiveness seems to be missing here. Very disappointing and not at all what one would expect from a place of this stature. Edit: After going to Palace, the service is Soo Good. From entrance to exit, they treat you as a royal. Food is so delicious and Palace tour is great. The booking vs service is miles apart.
I spent my birthday with my elderly parents here. Couldn't have asked for a better place for this special occasion and for my elderly parents. My father cannot walk well so they provided a wheelchair and a person who helped with the wheelchair and routes that are wheelchair accessible which was very helpful. Also, ensured dietary restrictions for my parents were followed through. Also, prepared food that was not on the menu but was best for my parents. Definitely would recommend this place if you want to spend with elderly parents. It was also Diwali time when we visited and the palace was beautifully decorated and also has special event for Diwali with few firecrackers also available to safely use which was very thoughtful. They even made Diwali sweets and sent to each room, needless to say they were delicious. Roaming around the palace in itself is a great experience- the architecture, history, peacocks walking around freely in lawns. The palace also had few activities for adults and kids which was nice and thoughtful. I really enjoyed having breakfast and my birthday dinner at Gol Bungalow. Beautiful view and they even get Qawalli performers to sing for you which was a very interesting and special experience. The breakfast is the best at the palace - great variety with some live stations and is included in your stay. The lunch and dinner food was okay. Even though I shared dietary restrictions for each guest beforehand, the dietary restrictions had to be repeated at every meal to ensure they are followed. Definitely in for a treat if you choose to stay here :) Thank you for making my birthday so special and memorable!
Dear Taj Falaknuma Team, This is Priyanka, a long time patron of Taj Hotels and the overall IHCL group. This was my 2nd visit to the Taj Falaknuma on 11th November 2025, as it coincided with my milestone birthday, once in a lifetime event. The previous visit was on my first wedding anniversary 11 years ago. There was a marked difference in the level of service offered to me then and now and this time my family - which included my husband, my 5 year old daughter and my in-laws, also experienced it first hand. I had personally communicated to a person in your staff that its a special occasion.Small things like charging for sparkling and mineral water, a basic bowl of pasta and a glass of juice for my 5 year old, the person I spoke to on the phone not even turning up once to check on the arrangements while we were dining at your property, etc just put me off. The lack of innovation in the menu, or abysmal lack of personalisation for someone who is coming to your property for the 2nd time to celebrate a special occasion in her life was just unpleasant to say the least and ruined the experience for all of us. I mean how many times have we had Double ka meetha and Khubani ka meetha at restaurants all over Hyderabad? A person would expect something good and innovative out of a 5 course meal costing almost INR 40k and here I was being charged for even a basic plate of pasta and a glass of juice, as the food offered could not be even eaten by my daughter because it was spicy! How can you go wrong about charging for a 5 year old kid?? Thanks to your team, my milestone birthday at your lavish property was nothing short of a fiasco. Maybe its the change in management or the way the level of hospitality has gone downhill now after the passing of late Mr. Ratan Tata - someone who we closely associate with the finest level of service in the hotel industry, I will not be coming to your property again in the future. Thanks for this not-so-opulent experience.
I visited Taj Falaknuma Palace today to celebrate my anniversary, and the entire experience felt truly luxurious. It’s a five-star property and yes, it’s quite expensive, but the experience is worth it. We spent the whole day there and enjoyed everything from the food and the warm staff to the calm ambience and beautiful views. The palace has a charm that makes the visit feel special, and it turned our day into a memory we’ll always value. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a refined and unforgettable experience.
An Exquisite Dining Experience at Celeste! Our visit to Taj Falaknuma Palace was absolutely enchanting, and dining at Celeste was the highlight of the evening. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and impeccable hospitality that made us feel truly special. The ambiance of the palace is breathtaking — elegant, regal, and steeped in history. Dining in such a magnificent setting felt like stepping back into the royal era. The staff were attentive and courteous, ensuring every detail was perfect. The food at Celeste was outstanding — each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The blend of Italian and Mediterranean influences was perfectly balanced, and the desserts were simply divine. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience — not just a meal, but a journey through heritage, taste, and timeless elegance. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hyderabad! Best time is to visit before sunset and enjoy the setting view, then have the palace tour and then dine in.
I had a very enjoyable and most memorable stay at Taj Falaknuma. To each and every member of the staff, who keeps so connected with you throughout your stay to cater to all your needs and beyond. At their restaurants, the manager will personally come and discuss with you your taste and liking about food and give best suggestions and then come back again to take your reviews. I celebrated my birthday there and it was so heartwarming. It felt like each and every member of the hotel is celebrating with me. My heart is full of gratitude for the experience I had at Taj Falaknuma. Thanks to their unbeatable hospitality.
I recently visited Taj Falaknuma for their dinner tour package, and overall, I’d say the experience was just okay. Starters: Really good probably the best part of the meal. Main Course: Quite average. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. Sweets: Again, just okay. The place is definitely grand and they charge premium rates, but honestly, it feels like you’re paying for the “5-star tag” more than the actual food or experience. For the same amount of money, I genuinely feel I could have taken a short trip to Goa, had a beautiful dinner by the sea, and returned and still felt better about the spend. Not a bad experience, but definitely not worth the price in my opinion.

The Shri Jagannatha Swamy Temple in Hyderabad is truly a divine gem and a perfect replica of the famous Puri Jagannath Temple. Visiting this temple was an unforgettable experience — the architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and a vibrant red sandstone structure that immediately captures your heart. The temple beautifully reflects the spiritual essence of the original Jagannath Temple, and the idols of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra are truly mesmerizing. The atmosphere is peaceful and filled with devotion, making it a wonderful place to meditate and feel spiritually connected. It’s especially enchanting during the evenings and during festive times when the temple is illuminated. A must-visit destination in Hyderabad for anyone who wishes to experience the divinity of Puri right here in the city. 🙏✨
This temple, located in Banjara Hills, is a magnificent and peaceful replica of the original Puri Jagannath Temple, built with red sandstone brought directly from Odisha. It is meticulously maintained and offers a deeply serene atmosphere, perfect for spiritual reflection away from city chaos. Key Highlights: The entire structure is a masterpiece of Kalinga architecture, featuring a towering 70-foot Shikhara (peak) and walls adorned with intricate stone carvings and mythological murals.

Sri Jagannadha Swamy Temple at Banjara Hills is one of the most beautiful and peaceful temples in Hyderabad. The temple is dedicated to Lord Jagannath along with Balabhadra and Subhadra, and the architecture closely resembles the famous Puri Jagannath Temple. The atmosphere here is calm and divine, making it a perfect place for prayer and meditation. The temple is well-maintained, clean, and surrounded by greenery, which adds to its spiritual charm. The priests are polite, and the daily rituals and aartis are performed with devotion. During festivals like Ratha Yatra and Makar Sankranti, the temple is beautifully decorated, and special pujas are conducted, attracting many devotees. Parking and accessibility are also quite convenient given its location in Banjara Hills.
One of the best temples I have visited in Hyderabad. The Puri Jagannath Temple, Jubilee Hills is truly worth a visit. The temple is beautifully designed, and its architecture resembles North Indian temple style — grand and detailed. There are many small temples within the premises like Ganapathi temple, Shiva temple, Lakshmi temple, Hanuman temple, and more. The entire place is well-organized, very clean, and well maintained. The night view with lights adds an extra charm, making the temple look absolutely scenic and divine. A must-visit spiritual spot in the heart of the city I bet you will visit once again to this place
TL;DR: Peaceful Ambiance || Well-Behaved Staff || Very Clean I recently visited the Jagannath Swamy Temple and had a truly wonderful experience. We went on a Saturday at 7 AM, and the temple was remarkably peaceful and empty, allowing for a serene visit. The entire premises were very clean and well-maintained. All the individual temples within the complex were also kept in excellent condition. I was also very impressed by the staff, who were all exceptionally well-behaved. Finding parking was a breeze as there was ample space available. In short, if you are a devotee of Jagannath and are looking for a beautiful and tranquil temple in Hyderabad to visit, this should absolutely be your go-to place.
Jaganath Temple, located right in the heart of the city, is a truly peaceful and spiritually uplifting place. The serene atmosphere and beautiful architecture make it a perfect spot for anyone looking to disconnect from the noise and find a moment of calm. The cleanliness of the surroundings and the warm, welcoming vibe add to the overall experience. It’s definitely a must-visit for devotees as well as anyone interested in culture or simply seeking tranquility. I highly recommend visiting this temple—you’ll leave feeling refreshed and positive.
I felt like I was in the Puri Jagannath Temple. It’s such a cool and peaceful place where you can truly enhance your positive energy. Darshan is very easy here, and there’s no entry ticket required. You can see deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Hanuman, several goddesses, and finally our Jagannath Swamy. As mentioned, the atmosphere really reminds you of the temple in Puri. After darshan, you can buy lovely prasadam—kaja, coconut laddu, and regular laddu are must-tries. Transport is also very convenient since the temple is right next to the main road. Have a wonderful darshan and enjoy peace of mind. Jai Jagannath.
Such a divine place. We can sit there for sometime and refresh our mind. The temple architecture is very beautiful. There are people outside the temple who will keep an eye on our chappal for a small amount so that it doesnt get stolen. Loved the ambience of the temple.

Nice one. Worth the price. U can dance in music, play with balls, slide and climb with friends. Better to come along with friends.
It's good place for family or young ones to have fun there. It's near to the National Highway, beside Indira Park in Lower Tankbund area. Also it's nearest to Hussain Sagar Lake. Snow Area can by enjoyed at the price of 650 per adult which may vary from time to time. This is located on the ground floor. It includes a small ride, snow slide, snow fall. One can play volleyball here. Coffee and tea are available in this section, but not of good taste. Besides the Snow Area, other sections can be availed at an extra cost of 200 rupees or total cost of 850 rupees per adult for the whole enjoyment. The other parts include Kalledo, Upside-down, Rain Forest and Living Dead. In the courtyard of this place, various food items are available and toilets as well for the convenience of tourists.
Coolest experience ever! ❄️☃️ Visiting Snow World in Hyderabad was super fun and exciting! It felt amazing to enjoy real snow in the middle of the city. From snow slides to dancing in snowfall, every moment was full of joy and thrill 😍❄️ The jackets and boots provided kept us warm, and the entire place was well-managed and clean. It’s a great spot to visit with friends or family, especially if you’ve never experienced snow before 🌨️🎉 I had a blast and made some great memories here! Definitely worth visiting at least once. Totally chilled out day! 😄❄️
The place has 4 different experiences, out of which Snow World is marketed s the main attraction. It's the only one with fixed timings, so plan your arrival accordingly. To each one his own, but going by our experience, Rain forest and scary house can be done in 15-20 mins. Reserve some time for Mirror maze;it's quite fun. Snow World itself is ok in terms of experience. We had a school kids group in the same session as ours. They literally took over the floor but that's ok. We didn't get to see snowfall as some comments mention. All said and done, it's quite pricey for what it offers. Someone else's suggestion but may be 1hr snow is overkill for a family to enjoy. But I think a cheaper, 30 mins session doesn't justify the business model etc. The only indoor snow experience I have but others(online and offline) mention other cities have better snow worlds, at cheaper prices.
Amazing, funfilled place for kids as well as adults... packages are nice. These area has 5 parts viz. Snow world, rainforest, upside down world, living dead and kaledo. Food stalls are available both inside and outside. For buying food items, always remember to keep cash as they don't accept any online payments..
Snow World Hyderabad is a good place for kids to enjoy and experience snow. The environment is fun and exciting, especially for families. However, they should provide thicker and warmer socks — within just 30 minutes, your feet start feeling very cold. There are heaters placed outside, but only two; increasing the number would definitely help visitors warm up better after the session. Apart from the snow zone, visitors can also enjoy pearl jewelry shopping and snacks outside. The place offers package attractions too, making it a nice spot for a short family outing.
I had an absolutely fantastic time at Snow World! The moment I stepped in, it felt like entering a real winter wonderland right in the heart of Hyderabad. The snow area was super fun — from snow slides and igloos to snowball fights, everything was so exciting. The temperature drop felt refreshing and thrilling at the same time. The staff was friendly and made sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable experience. The jackets, boots, and gloves they provided kept us warm enough to enjoy all the activities comfortably. It’s a perfect place for families, friends, or even a quick escape from the city heat. If you’re in Hyderabad and want something unique and fun to do, Snow World is a must-visit! ❄️☃️ Vary GUD
NOT RECOMMENDED 🎯 it's a waste of time ⏲️ Prices are too high and quality is very poor. 600 for adults 500 for children 50 for mobile If you compare this to Mysore one, I RECOMMEND that only. It's an old building and unhygienic. Q system is very bad 👎. Parking is free. The road which enters here is a garbage area. They should reduce the price or improve the quality. There are holes in the dresses they are going. I don't think 90 % people won't complete 1 hour, it's better they start for 30 minutes with price reduction.

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are one of Hyderabad’s most significant historical landmarks, located just 10 minutes from Golconda Fort by auto. Set within a serene garden complex, the site offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere away from the city’s noise. The complex houses seven grand tombs along with a beautifully built mosque, each structure reflecting the architectural grace of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. It’s a wonderful place for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys quiet, well-preserved heritage spaces. A must-visit alongside Golconda Fort for a fuller glimpse of Hyderabad’s royal past.
After exploring the nearby historic Golconda Fort, we stopped by this sprawling necropolis containing the tombs of the Qutub Shahi dynasty during the 16th and 17th centuries. This area is a stunning and concentrated example of Indo-Islamic and Qutb Shahi architecture. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain. Beyond the seven main Qutub Shahi tombs (also colloquially known locally as 7 tops), there were a variety of smaller tombs for wives and extended family, as well as favored members of the sultante including physicians, courtesans, and a commander-in-chief. In addition to the various tombs, the grounds also host a number of gardens, baths, and mosques. The relatively few visitors made the expansive grounds feel both desolate and peaceful. As a result, exploring the surrounding archways and vaulted interiors was both a meditative and contemplative experience.
These domes built during the Qutub Shahi dynasty are famous from history books. The peaceful and scenic environment here gives you peace of mind. The carvings on each dome are beautiful.
