The Welcome Gates Of Charminar

Charminar is a popular monument in Hyderabad, and many will just admire the monument or enter into the monument and ends of there. There are also 4 gates located before reaching Charminar where it is located in the North, south, east and west. They are called the Charminar Kaman, Machil Karman, Kali Karman and the Sher-e-Batil-Ki-Kaman where these are 4 historical structures located about 75m away from each side of the Charminar.

The Many Store Vendors with Local Food

Many locals and foreigners when visiting hyderabad will head to the streets of charminar located at Charminar Rd, Char Kamam, Ghansi Bazaar, Hyderabad where you will see a wide array of stalls not only selling apparels like Sari and clothing, or cups or souvenir but instead local food prepared by these street vendors themselves. Of course, many will say that you will require a strong stomach due to the unhygienic way they prepare, but what I recommend is watch them prepare infront of you instead or head to the stalls where most locals buy from and you will know these are the popular and clean ones loved by the locals here. Most of the food sold here have prices on them so that you do not be quoted a foreigner price instead. So what are you waiting for, come to the street of Charminar in Hyderabad and make this a bucketlist experience like no other! #bucketlistreboot #india #hyderabad #foodie #localdelights #foodvendor #foodhaven #localfood #vendors #indiansweets #foodtrial #foodhunt

Four Minerats

The presence of Qutb Shahi dynasty is a true gift 🎁 to Hyderabad city, that they have put so many masterpieces in one place. The word 'Charminar' means four pillars in Urdu language 🗣 ; around which the whole city is planned during the ancient days. It is also built to mark the end of a plague that was long standing and crippling the local people. You can climb and hike 🥾 inside every minerat to see a mosque 🕌 or the nearest famous bazaar; a supermarket place. They have nearly 45 different prayer halls and a sacred fountain too at the center. There has always been some construction going on whenver I visited 😂. As I was mentioning in my Shepherd's hill series, there's a secret path way between Golconda fort and here for the King's escape during the tragedy 🎭 You can easily reach here using public transportation in Hyderabad city. #summervacation#hikingtrails

Shepherd's hill - part 1

It is quite interesting to find archaeological🗿 sites amidst the bustling cities and how they represent the sole history of the city. Situated around 9 kms from the downtown of the Hyderabad city, Golconda fort was once the capital of Qutb Shahi kingdom. At the entrance, there is a dome from where if you stand at the center of it and clap 👏 your hands it will reverberate to the top hill sending a warning signal of any impending danger ⚠️. Hiking 🥾around this fort takes almost a day for you and you have to be well hydrated considering the temperature of the city. The inner fort has lot of old remains of mosques 🕌, forts, and old statues. They have sufficient basic facilities inside this preserved historical center. Follow my next post why this is called Shepherd's hill 😉 #hyderabad #indiatravel #forthike #summervacation#hikingtrails

Tombs of the Kings !!

Wherever you see fort, then they should remind you that they have served an important part in the history. Also in the same way, tombs. Forts are generally designed to keep the king at an elevated position which represents that he is above all the people of his country; giving him an immortal status. These tombs play an important role in keeping that status alive. Like the mummies (preserved bodies of kings/queens) in Egypt, places were built for Kings in India. And these tombs come with such magnanimity and artistic work in that. Mostly these tombs are built when the king is alive, and the tomb will be of his taste (like nowadays buying that premium burial ground for ourself). Situated near to the Golconda fort, these tombs has bodies of kings who once lived in that fort. If you look from the top of that fort, you can easily see people coming at a distance of atleast 5 kms; which provides a strategic advantage against any enemy attacks. And later when the time is over, the kings are placed inside these tombs. Symbolizing life and death. #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark #indiatravel #tombs #leaveyourmark#urbanexplorer

The International Airport In Hyderabad

Finally it's my day to head back from Hyderabad to Singapore. The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport has very strict policies where only departing passengers are allowed to enter into the airport, this is not like where we can walk around in the airport in singapore or send people off. If one who wants to send someone off, they are required to pay a fee before entering into the airport. Although being in India, our impression of the airport is the dirty rundown kind of airport but Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is a modern airport that is also currently expanding so that they will be able to handle more passengers in the future. Do make Hyderabad a holiday destination as the country has been growing and improving in tourism ever since the lift of covid restrictions. #bucketlistreboot #india #airport #hyderabad #tourists #holidaydestination #shorttrip #historical #culturaltrip #modernairport

Arriving or departing from hyderbad airport and afraid that there might be nothing to do. Fret not, you should head to one of the many eateries located right outside of Rajib Gandhi International Airport called Aero Plaza where they are opened from 10am - 4am daily.
