Hyderabad Trip Planner

Plan Hyderabad around the right base area, not just a list of attractions. For most groups, the key choices are banjara hills/jubilee hills for dining/nightlife, whether to prioritise charminar and laad bazaar or golconda fort, and how much buffer to keep for local transfers, weather and group split-ups.
