Best Time To Visit Hyderabad

Winter, which lasts from November to February, is the best time to explore Hyderabad tourism. The city does not face the chilly wrath of winter. Instead, Hyderabad weather is at its most pleasant, ranging between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius. It makes the sightseeing of attractions on offer by Hyderabad tourism and being out and about on the streets of the city a delightful experience. On the other hand, if you plan your visit in the summer, the scorching heat is going to make getting out during the afternoon difficult. Summer spans from March to June and the temperature ranges between 25 and 40 degrees Celsius. Nights are more tolerable than the afternoons. Travellers visiting during the summer tend to spend a lot of their time in the more modern region of Cyberabad within its chic and air-conditioned restaurants, cafes, malls and movie theatres. The semi-arid state of Telangana is brought to ease by the monsoon between July and August. The temperature decreases slightly and is in the range of 22 to 35 degrees Celsius, but the humidity is still high. Although the rain can make your experience of Hyderabad tourism unpredictable, the weather overall is agreeable for you to enjoy the city.

Golconda Fort is undoubtedly the cornerstone of Hyderabad tourism. The marvellous fort has been around since the 12th century and is one of the greatest feats of architecture in the country. Several dynasties such as the Kakatiyas, the Bahamanis, the Qutub Shahis and the Mughals have fought for their rule over this fort, after which it was ultimately left abandoned. It has braved the ravages of time and socio-political tension, and the fort continues to stand tall as a reminder of the region’s past.

From being named after a common shepherd to being the place the Kohinoor diamond was stored – Golconda Fort and its stories make Hyderabad tourism a mystical experience. The complex of the fort consists of palaces, mosques and pavilions that are still imbued with a regal charm. The primitive style of architecture and the stunning view of the city from the monument will certainly keep you transfixed, hence you should take a couple of hours to explore the site.

If you are opting for Hyderabad tourism for the first time, make sure that you do not miss this!

Tourists flock to this famous spot of Hyderabad tourism not only for its historical value but also its splendid architecture.

As you also learn that a Hyderabadi will debate about two things other than Biryani – A cup of Irani chai and Haleem. Sightseeing is one aspect of Hyderabad but your tour to Hyderabad is not complete without tasting the best of Biryani, Haleem and Irani chai. Food is part of the cultural ethos of Hyderabad and there is more to food here than simply satisfying the pangs of hunger.
