Selesai penceritaan pasal trip ke Hyderabad,let's summarize ke mana kami pegi dan apa yang kami buat sepanjang 4 hari di sana.
Tujuan trip ni basically untuk fulfil keinginan kami merasai Hyderabadi cuisine..Memang masakan India kena dengan citarasa kami dan di India ada pelbagai rasa dan menu yang berbeza depends pada regions mana yang kita pegi.
Selain dari makan-makan,kita ambik kesempatan untuk explore beberapa tempat.We are the type of travellers who wander slowly...not the tick-all-the-boxes traveller.Mana yang dapat pegi & explore,kami syukuri..mana yang tak dapat,kami ok and redho je.The goal is to collect moments and memories..and ultimately,to enrich our own journey.Alhamdulillah.
So,ni itinerary serba ringkas di Hyderabad.Klik ☝untuk post terperinci.

Other places suggestively visited
Ada beberapa tempat yang kami masukkan dalam itinerary tapi tak sempat nak visit..you should consider pegi
i- Hussain Sagar Lake- heart-shaped lake with Buddha statue in middle.Cantik waktu sunset
ii- Falaknuma Palace - former Nizam's palace with 60-room luxury hotel interior.Tak boleh walk in,takde entrance fee.Kalau nak visit,kena menginap kat situ atau book dining atau join paid tour.Ni memang ekslusif (tu yang tak gi tu😄)
Harga untuk foreigner
Palace tour WITHOUT high tea 3500 (RM147)/pax
iii- Ramoji Film - kompleks studio filem terbesar di dunia (＞2000 ekar).Jaraknya 35 km dari pusat bandar,perjalanan 1 jam dengan kereta.Kena spend seharian kat sini,barulah berbaloi.
Recommended kalau anda memang penggemar filem Bollywood / Tollywood,suka theme park,live stunt show dan movie set.Tak digalakkan bagi yang buat trip singkat ke Hyderabad.
iv- Al Akbar Fast Food near Charminar - famous for chicken 65
v- Cafe Bahar - well-reviewed Hyderabadi restaurant with biryanis and grills
vi - Paradise Biryani
Transportation tips 💡
i-Uber and Ola are very reliable.Highly recommend to install these app to book for transportation.Price is fixed and not negotiable.Insya Allah tak kena scammed.
Use auto for short hops (1-3 km) or when you're tired of walking (most roads are not walkable or pedestrian-friendly).Book a car if the distance is more than 3 km.
Awalnya,kami ingat nak book 1 supir untuk bawak round-round.Nasib tak jadi,sebab DIY tour by Uber is very DOABLE & jauh lebih murah..
ii-If you have to take auto (without booking via Uber/Ola) - make sure to fix price before getting in.Avoid unmetered autos for long distances.
ii-Don't rely on public buses (confusing & slow for tourists).Senang citer,takyah try naik bas
Rasanya tu je untuk penutup entry Hyderabad.Semoga sedikit sebanyak dapat membantu dan memberi gambaran bagi yang berhasrat untuk visit Hyderabad.
