The Wonders of the Arts at Shilparamam

By Leave a Comment

If there is one place you should go to in order to really taste the traditional flavours of Hyderabad as a whole, that place would have to be Shilparamam. This arts-and-crafts village’s 65-acre spread is dedicated entirely to the preservation, encouragement, and showcasing of Andhra Pradesh’s artistic culture, and it is a government-run facility that is still being developed to further attract tourists as well as foster a hospitable environment for those still practising the local arts.  There are dozens of things to see in Shilparamam, as might be expected of a village dedicated to the arts, but better than that, there are also dozens of things to do here: the village has an interactive approach when it comes to promoting the arts it supports, which means visitors can definitely do more than just stare at the display pieces as they would in a stiff museum.

Shamirpet: A Place Where Technology Meets the Raw Beauty of Nature

By Leave a Comment

Shamirpet, one of the Mandals in Andhra Pradesh, is a curious study in contrasts—or perhaps a fine marriage between what are now typically considered two sides of the coin.  Here, you get to see all the beauty of nature while still staying close to several centres of modernity, and this makes it a fine place to go to if ever you do come around the Hyderabad or Secunderabad area.

The Biggest Film Complex on the Globe: Ramoji Film City

By Leave a Comment

Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City has an official world record, as certified by Guinness World Records: it is the biggest film complex on Earth, spanning 674 hectares in total and just 3 sound stages shy of a perfect 50.  It is so large, in fact, that coaches and buses have to operate within the grounds to transport people from one end of the complex to another.  This huge film complex is famous not just with the locals but also with the tourists, not least because it also offers packages for sightseers and even honeymooners wishing to get a taste of filmmaking in the very heart of Tollywood.

The enormous film complex is actually relatively young as far as film complexes go, having been opened only in 1996.  It is not just that it is a centre of arts and culture for Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh: it is also that it was designed with a view to permitting people …

The Sayedani Maa Tomb

When visiting Hyderabad, it is nearly impossible not to take a trip down the Tank Bund.  This area next to the famous Hussain Sagar Lake is a typical hangout for tourists and even residents of the city because it sports so many of the attractions of Hyderabad.  From gardens all the way down to amusement parks, practically everything can be found along the Tank Bund.

  The government itself has played a major role in the development of the area for tourism purposes, and so you shall find that a number of the parks and sites here are fairly recent in their genesis.

The Charm of NTR Gardens, Hyderabad

By Leave a Comment

Those passing by the Hussain Sagar Lake of Hyderabad may well want to check out NTR Gardens as well.  While this park is not among the larger ones in the city, it is nevertheless among the prettier ones, especially when the flowers begin to bloom.  Its central location also renders it a perfect stopover if you are planning a day of sightseeing, as several of the major sights, like Lumbini Park, Necklace Road, and Hussein Sagar itself.
