PURANI
HAVELI :- Situated between Chatta Bazaar and the Dabirpura main road,
Purani Haveli was the residence of Mir Momin, the Peshwa of Hyderabad,
during the reign of Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah V (1580-1612 AD). In 1777 AD
Nawab Mir Nizam Ali Khan, Nizam II, acquired a large area of the Haveli Mir
Alam from Ruknouddoula, a descendant of the family of Mir Momin. Nizam II
built the residential buildings for his son, who however shifted his
residence to Khilwat palace. Later Nawab Mir Mahboob Ali Khan, Nizam VI,
made it his residence.
HIGH COURT BUILDING :- The High
Court Building is situated on the south bank of the Musi River. It is a
magnificent structure built by the seventh Nizam in 1919. It is a fine
example of Indo-Saracenic architecture built in red and white stone creating
majestic domes that taper into elegant minarets
QUTAB SHAHI
TOMB :- These stately domes form an umbrella over the tombs underneath
which rest the majestic kings of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in peace, thence the
name. Located quite close to and in the vicinity of the Golconda Fort, these
tombs were ornamented with blue and green tiles of which only a few can be
seen now. The rooms inside the smaller tombs are basically single-storied
while the larger ones have two-storied structures.
GOLCONDA
FORT :- The Golconda Fort provides a majestic backdrop to Bhagyanagar,
as Hyderabad was called once. Though the Kakatiyas, the Andhra rulers in the
12th Century, are credited with the original construction of the Fort, it
was actually the Qutb Shahi kings that expanded the building. They used
granite stones to reconstruct the Fort and fortify the massive structure
with granite walls and barricades extending to nearly 7 kms in
circumference. It is said that the Hope Diamond, the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, the
Orloff Diamond, etc. originated from this place. While the Nagina Bagh, the
guard barracks and the Taramati mosque represent the splendor of the Fort
even in its ruins, the Fateh Darwaza, the Madanna Temple, the Ramdas jail,
the Rani Mahal and the Jama Masjid are the other major attractions. The
Baradari atop the hill offers a clear view of the city. The Golconda Fort,
which was once famous for its trade in diamonds and precious stones, has a
sound-and-light show organized by the AP Tourism Development Corporation
every evening. Overnight at Hyderabad.

03. HYDERABAD :- fter Breakfast we are going to visit the
best attractions of Hyderabad with Guide and Entry Fees.
SALAR
JUNG MUSEUM :- One of the oldest museums has various artifacts collected
by Nawab Turab Ali Khan, popularly known as Salar Jung I, the diwan of the
Hyderabad State, and his descendants. Salar Jung III alias Mir Yousuf Ali
Khan's collection forms the major chunk of the art pieces on display.
Venice, a painting by Marc Aldine of 19th century Italy, Indian paintings,
arms and attires of the Mughal emperors and some clocks.
CHARMINAR
:- Any tourist who steps into this 400-year-old city eagerly awaits a
glance of this monument, which is to Hyderabad what the Statue of Liberty is
to the USA and the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. Built in 1591-92 by the Qutb
Shahi king Mohammad Quli Qutb Shah, this magnificent edifice that epitomises
the pride of our city is a structure of char (four) huge minars (pillars).
For the etymologists, the word minaret has originated from minar, rendered
by the sweet sounding Urdu zabani. Built to a height of 56.7meters (186
feet) and on a square base of 31.5 meters (100 feet), the Charminar is said
to be a prototype of Tazia, a representation of the tomb of Imam Husain. It
is also said that during the Mughal Governorship between the Qutb Shahi and
the Asaf Jahi rule, lightning destroyed the South Western minaret which
'fell to pieces', but it was forthwith repaired at a cost of Rs 60,000! The
whole structure was plastered in 1824 at a cost of Rs 100,000. Isn't it
amusing? Ah, but then the rupee isn't what it used to be...
LAD BAZAR :-
One of the oldest shopping centers in the city, Lad Bazaar has some real
good stuff among bangles made of glass, lac, metal, semi-precious stones and
pearls.
BIRLA MANDIR :- One of the best ways to wake up is
perhaps to mellifluous hymns in praise of the Lord, and that is one thing
that you'd enjoy if you live anywhere in the vicinity of this architectural
beauty that is such a splendor to behold. A blend of North and South Indian
temple architecture, the place dedicates the main temple in its precincts to
Lord Venkateswara. Away from the hubbub of the city, the temple is located
on top of the erstwhile Kala Pahad, the twin of Naubat Pahad. It overlooks
the Tank Bund and makes an excellent spectacle when illuminated lavishly
during the evenings.
B M BIRLA PLANETARIUMS :- It's one of
the few technically advanced and modern science planetariums in the country
and a place of pride for the Hyderabadis. The shows give you the feeling of
actually being 'out there'. The place is slowly being developed into a fine
center for the study of astronomy. Overnight at Hyderabad.
DAY 04. HYDERABAD :- After
Breakfast we are going to visit the best attractions of Hyderabad with Guide

RAMOJI FILM CITY :- The places you've
heard about till now only in the fairy tales come alive here in a mixture of
dazzling colors. Ramoji Film City, owned by entrepreneur-cum-film producer
Ramoji Rao, is magnificently built across 2,000 acres of land. The splendid
looking place is famous for its sets and can make your day with the
resplendent things on offer. Hawa Mahal, along the lines of the Golconda
Fort, is on a hilltop from where you can have a bird's eye view of the whole
place. RFC has carved a niche for itself with its Japanese garden, the ETV
planet (a multi-purpose editing suit), a multi-purpose building, a pool and
artificial waterfalls. Sets like the airport and the hospital astonish.
These are the added feathers in the Film City's beautiful cap.
