Hyderabad Tours
Hyderabad or Bhagnagar of the ancient days has a delightfully romantic past. Price Quli fell in love with a local girl Bhagmati who lived across the river so the king got a wooden bridge constructed so that the two lovers could meet. In the later years when the Prince sat on the throne he constructed the grand Charminar at the village site where Bhagmati was born.
In fact the city that flourished around this monumental splendor came to be known as Bhagnagar and was later rechristened Hyderabad. Conceptualized and built on the model of an ancient city in Iran, Hyderabad flourished under the patronage of Nizams for centuries.
Hyderabad tours offer you grand opportunities for exploring heritage monuments and present a base from where you can set out on fun excursions to Golconda, Bidar, Warangal and Nagarjunakonda.
See the fantastic Charminar that dominates the Hyderabad city center. With four exquisitely carved arches that open out into four wide avenues, the Charminar is flanked by four delicate looking minarets that ensconce a spacious open-air prayer space on its rooftop.
Mecca Masjid is a must visit while on Hyderabad tours. This massive place of worship has the capacity to accommodate around 10,000 persons for prayer at a time. The ornamental edifice of this giant mosque in Hyderabad owes its existence to the great Mohhamad Qutb Shah, who began the construction of this monumental piece of architecture.
