Hyderabad Trips & Tours

Discover a smorgasbord of culture, tradition, commerce and cuisine in India’s sixth largest city.
Hyderabad isn’t a stalwart on the tourist circuit. Really, it’s preferred more by technology giants who have recently cemented Hyderabad as a global cyber capital. But between the glittering offices and swanky metro system, there’s a treasure trove of history to discover. We’d start in the Old City, an evocative ancient quarter bursting with people, life and chai shops. The iconic Charminar stands watch over the stalls (climb to the top for a sprawling view) and the surrounding architecture is impressive. Then, take a tour through the past at Golconda Fort, capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, take in the Salar Jung museum, and thenogle at the grand and glorious palaces of the Nizams. And it wouldn’t be Hyderabad if you didn’t shop for opulent fabrics and piles of shiny lac bangles and devour a steaming biryani along the way…
Things to do

What to do in Hyderabad

Minarets pierce clouds of fragrant biryani steam in this regal southern capital, where centuries of rulers left their mark in stone and spice. The iconic Charminar stands sentinel over bustling bazaars, while Golconda Fort's whispered secrets travel through ingenious acoustic systems. In the shadows of the Qutb Shahi tombs, pearl merchants still ply their trade, and morning light illuminates the grand halls of Chowmahalla Palace. Whether you're sipping Irani chai near centuries-old mosques or discovering ancient artifacts at the Salar Jung Museum, this city serves up history garnished with legendary hospitality and culinary mastery.

The total contrast between old and new, past and present, history and modernity. And the fact that the city is totally, wonderfully bonkers.

Interestingly, Hyderabad is abuzz with women shaping history, both past and present. Take a specialist tour to delve into their histories and hear stories of remarkable courage and incredible bravery.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The traffic is appalling – be warned if you need to get anywhere in a hurry (you won’t) and be wary of packing too much into one day. We recommended three nights for a proper exploration.
