The city of nawabs - Hyderabad

Got a chance to visit Hyderabad during my Husband's convocation program last year in August month . This was my second  visit to Hyderabad so we covered only few places which is accessible in city . 

The most famous Golkunda fort n Ramoji film City we have not covered as I had visited these place earlier.

Day 1  after freshen up it was almost evening 4 pm when we were fully ready to explore the city  so we headed towards the charminar as evening market of charminar is most talked about.

Charminar is always vibrant—full of shops, local street food, and bustling markets 

The surrounding market (Laad Bazaar) is a paradise for bangles, ittar, and small souvenirs.
Night-time lighting makes the monument look magical.

Parking can be a bit tricky due to narrow lanes, so plan accordingly. We reached here by auto.

In day time you can climb the stairs n see the top view with nominal entry fee. However in night it was not allowed. 

After shopping n having dinner at shadab biryani we ended the first daytrip.

Day 2 

We started our trip with visiting to Birla temple located at hill at main city. It's offer a beautiful panoramic view of city from top 

Mobiles are not allowed inside the temple. The whole temple is made up of marble stone and in night it shine so bright.
