Hyderabad Tour Packages

Hyderabad carries its history more lightly than Delhi and is a great deal easier to move around. The Charminar and the Laad Bazaar around it are the old city — bangles, pearls and the best biryani in India, which is a claim the city will defend at length and largely wins. Golconda Fort is the other set piece: a ruined hill fortress with acoustics engineered so a clap at the entrance is audible at the summit, still demonstrated daily. The Qutb Shahi tombs beside it are underrated and usually empty. Two nights covers the old city, Golconda and one museum; the airport is a long way out, so allow for it.
