Sound & light show in evening - a must watch. Narrated by legendary Amitabh Bacchans the show makes you feel the history.

just be careful that you dont walk too close to the walls, coz the stink is just unbearably strong to choke you... Worth the climb to the top, and yes if possible wait up for the music and light show in the evening... I mean if you are getting bored and theres nothing else to do, why not?

If Hyderabad is you first stop in India, then its a great location to visit, but do try it first thing in the morning, when you the most of your energy. The road to the top is pretty long, around 20 mins. The view is nice, pretty good for photographers, but that is the end of it, the architectural plan... More

Place is well maintained as it is a unesco... More

One of My favourite places in Hyderabad without doubt, I love climbing up to the top and enjoy the fascinating views. It is generally nice and breezy in the Raja's palace on top. It is best to go there early morning or little late in evening since it will be too hot otherwise. They have now built a "path" for... More
