Hyderabad

Arrive at Hyderabad, receive and transfer to hotel. After freshening up, begin your first day of sightseeing covering the gleaming white Birla Mandir perched on a 280-ft granite hill, the Birla Science Centre and Birla Planetarium (a superb science complex). In the evening, visit Shilparamam — an arts and crafts village showcasing traditional crafts from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana — followed by a drive past Hitech City, India's IT hub, and the stunning cable bridge on Durgam Cheruvu.

At 9:00 AM, depart for Ramoji Film City (40 km one way) — the world's largest integrated film studio complex, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Spend a full day exploring its iconic film sets from Bollywood and regional movies, spectacular theme park rides, live entertainment shows, and behind-the-scenes studio tours. The day is packed with entertainment for all ages.

Note: Guided tour ticket charges are extra and payable at Ramoji Film City.

After breakfast, visit the extraordinary Salarjung Museum — one of the largest one-man collection museums in the world, housing Salar Jung III's personal collection of art, antiques, and manuscripts. Proceed to the iconic Charminar (drive through its historic lanes), and the Mecca Masjid — one of the oldest and largest mosques in India. After lunch, explore the magnificent Choumohalla Palace (the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty), and head to Qutab Shahi Tombs and the awe-inspiring Golconda Fort — a 16th-century fortress with a legendary acoustic system and panoramic city views.

After breakfast, visit the Nehru Zoological Park — one of India's finest zoos, home to over 1,500 animals including tigers, lions, and African animals. Continue to the quirky and fascinating Sudha Car Museum — featuring one-of-a-kind vehicles shaped like cricket balls, computers, and more, hand-built by master craftsman Sudhakar Yadav. After lunch, stroll along the scenic Necklace Road, enjoy boating in Hussain Sagar Lake, and relax in Lumbini Park by the waterfront.

After breakfast, check out from the hotel and make one final stop at Snow World — a fun indoor winter-themed attraction with snow activities and slides. Then head to the markets for some last-minute shopping — pick up Hyderabadi pearls, Irani chai blends, or a bag of biryani masala. Evening transfer to the railway station or airport for your onward journey.
