Hyderabad: a medley of old world charm and modern marvels!

Date:

“Kya miyaan, Hyderabad aaya aur biriyani nakko khaya to kya kiya?” Walk into Hyderabad and you’ll be greeted to a language that has proudly christened itself as a cross breed of Urdu and Hindi. Welcome to Hyderabad, where you’ll bump into history, beautiful topography and a gastronomical riot that make your tummy swoon the sinful pleasures only food can offer on a platter. So, it doesn’t really come as a surprise when an international publication has declared that Hyderabad is the second best place to visit in 2015. The Royal influence of the Nizams still charms the visitors, who take away a lot of memories and souvenirs from the city of pearls.

From the charming Charminar, which is today one of the most recognised monuments of India and the face of Hyderabad, to the plush area of Banjara Hills and Hi-Tech city, Hyderabad is a perfect concoction of old-world charm and modern marvels. From posh 5-stars dishing out contemporary dishes from all over the world, to archaic places that serve delicacies right from the pages of history, variety is definitely the spice of life in Hyderabad.

Pearls, bangles, dum biriyani, IT jobs, all of these are synonymous with Hyderabad — a city that effortlessly scripts the fusion of old world charm and the comforts that technology spoils us with. And the metro rail is all set to add that boost it needed.

The hard working work hard, and then can have your share of fun too. If the old world is something that attracts you, then there’s plenty for you to drool about. Charminar, Golconda Fort, palaces like the Falaknuma Palace, the Chowmahalla Palace are the places you’d love to head to. The Falaknuma Palace, for your information, was hogging all the limelight recently, as it hosted the wedding of Salman Khan’s youngest sister Arpita.

If you’re one of those religious kinds, you’re sure to gather an abundance of blessings, thanks to the plethora of temples around. The Birla Mandir, the Chilkur Balaji Temple, also known as the ‘Visa Balaji Temple’, the Mecca Masjid in Charminar and a host of other religious attractions are bound to keep you busy.

For the science lovers, there’s plenty to be excited about to. There are a lot of museums and planetariums to ensure you have your share of fun too. The Salar Jung Museum, Birla Science Museum, Archaeology Museum and the City Museum will open up a whole new world of information for you. And then, if you’re the movie lover, you’ll love the Ramoji Film City, that’s a whole world in itself.

And then, there are some very special attractions for the ladies. Your shopping bags will never feel neglected, for Hyderabad has a lot to offer to keep you happy. It’s not just the pearls that Hyderabad is famous for.  On your trip to Charminar, make sure you visit the Laad Bazar, or Chudi Bazar that’s there right next to it. For all the men who hate to carry around bags, spoilers ahead. Opting out of that visit might look like a smart option, for the ladies will just refuse to budge. Artificial jewellery, pearls, bangles are all up for grabs. If you’re looking at picking up artefacts, Shilparamam is a great bet. It’s a smaller version of the Dilli Haat. If you’re brand conscious, you can let the innumerable malls take care of your needs.

After a hectic day of sightseeing, don’t forget to dig into Hyderabad’s famous dum biriyani and finish it up with some great desserts like double ka meetha, qurbani ka meetha and a plethora of other mouth-watering dishes that can cause a gastronomical riot!
