  • Good historical place to visit but too crowded. The place needs to be be maintained by the authorities for cleanliness as the locals, hawkers, shops and the tourists litter the place with disposals.....  more

  • Hyderabad is a lively, vibrant city with great infrastructure, lot of greenery, lip smacking food and good roads. It's a little expensive though in terms of transport and cost of living, of course...

  • Amazing historical monument . Ver well preserved . Do ensure you climb to the top tip if you are scared of narrow pathways a and stairs stay away it’s a very steep and high rise stair set . Elderly with knee or leg pain stay away as you cannot return as it a one way stair once started will have to go to the top . Once on top will have to return as well . The view from the top is magnificent. And is worth all the efforts . The surrounding is packed with shops and sellers . There is a tea shop do get tea from there and the famous Hyderabad biscuits . There is a mix biscuits box which has all the flavors . They do t allow bags so either don’t take bags or sacs else keep it as the deposit station for 20 rs an hour . It’s a no vehicle done do have to park a bit far and then walk .
  • This is one of the significant historical identity of Hyderabad but local administration needs to improvement and develop this places smooth functioning for tourist and visitor so they can get more information and awareness. An iconic monument of Hyderabad. Unfortunately, there was heavy security the day we visited this. Loved the bazaar around this. Great place to buy bangles (Indian)
