Weekend Getaways from Hyderabad

There are destinations that are perfect for one of those days when you

are running tight on money. A cheap trip is sometimes what you actually need;

and I know you couldn’t agree more. Let us also learn about which are the

budget places to visit near Hyderabad that guarantees absolute rejuvenation as well.

Bidar:

Forts and massive ruins are the main attractions in Bidar (Karnataka),

which is situated at distance of about 147kms from Hyderabad. A quiet

little place that is away from the deafening clamour of city life, at

Bidar you can enjoy a walk down rich Indian history. As a traveller,

you would be greatly interested in taking pictures here as it offers

a number of picturesque frames that will certainly get ample of likes

from your Facebook and Google plus friends. Bidar Fort, Bahmani Tombs,

Khwaja Mahmud Gawan Madrasa and Choukhandi are the top places to visit

in Bidar. Since you are travelling cheap, you might like to keep your

food bill under control as well and that is why you may want to eat at

Jyothi Udupi, which serves variety of sumptuous dosa at reasonable prices.

Warangal:

Ancient and mesmerizing! You will fall for Warangal, which is located about

143kms away from Hyderabad and is now a part of the newly formed Telagana

state. Once the ruling seat of Kakatiya Dynasty, Warangal is famous for its

temple architecture and its majestic fort.  The main places of interest in

Warangal are Warangal Fort, Bhadrakali Temple, Thousand Pillar Temple and

Ramappa Temple. If you have decided to drive on your own, you can visit

many places en route to Warangal from Hyderabad like Bhongir Fort, Pembarti,

Kolanupaka (Jain Temple) and Jangaon. As it is a full-fledged city, you

can find a large range of accommodation options here that offers great stay

without burning a hole in your pocket. Warangal is certainly a break from

the routine tourist destinations and can prove to be a great weekend escape.

Nagarjunasagar:

Situated somewhere around 164kms from the city of Hyderabad, Nagarjunasagar

is where all the action takes place over the weekend! Nagarjunasagar is ideal

for one-day trips and is the best getaway from Hyderabad, unless you are

willing to spend some solitary time here. Nagarjunasagar is basically famous

for its 124m high dam and the isolated Nagarjunakonda. A steam boat ride is

something that you shall enjoy her: however there aren’t any hotels in

Nagarjunasagar or Nagarjunakonda, so you have to book accommodations in

Mriyalguda and Machrela as they have many hotels in this region.

Nizamabad:

Nizamabad is a prominent tourist attraction in Telangana and situated 176kms

from Hyderabad. The place is a reflection of rich Indian culture and offers a

pleasant stay during the weekend break. Architecture and nature has been blended

in perfect amount here and you shall love exploring the off-beat trekking trails

that often lead to waterfalls. The ancient temple at Kanteshwar, which is

believed to be 500 years old, is another major attraction in Nizamabad. Bada

Pahad Dargah is yet another place that you must visit here. For a weekend

Nizamabad is certainly a great idea.

Karimnagar:

Heritage is what keeps Karimnagar on its feet. Heart winning architecture dots

the city and you shall love posing here and capturing frames that include amazing

reflection of rich Indian culture. Karimnagar is situated around 164kms from

Hyderabad and is a great weekend holiday idea for those who love architecture

 photography. Jagityala fort, Dhulikatta, Elagandal fort and Shivaram sanctuary

are the places of interest in and around Karimnagar. You must shop for metal with

a filigree work on it from here as a memoir.

Nalgonda:

Old world charm is what fascinates one in Nalgonda, which is situated about

83kms from Hyderabad. The prime attraction of the place is Nandikonda Village

that preserves ancient ruins of Buddhist monastery and pillared hall. Other

than that you can also visit Sri Laxminarsimha Swamy Temple and Chhaya

Somalingeswara Temple. Beside the ancient ruins, Nalgonda is a quite little

town that offers a laidback weekend holiday easing your mind and refreshing

it thoroughly.

Mahbubnagar:

This destination is yet another popular weekend getaway from Hyderabad and is

situated at a distance of 100kms. I like to call it the city of ‘Kohinoor Diamond’,

as this is where the diamond originated. You shall find a number of temples that

are worth a visit in Mahbubnagar and there is also a 700 years old huge Banyan

Tree that you might be interested in seeing. Jama Masjid, Medina Masjid, Mecca

Masjid and Umamaheshwaram, Mallelatheertham and Koilsagar are some of the best

places to visit in Mahbubnagar.
