Our Walks
PRIVATE TOURS/CITY WALKS
With over 400 years of layered-history, Hyderabad has also accumulated its own set of legends and stories. We believe in keeping an open mind as history is not linear and hence, weaving in stories are also equally important. Here’s a glimpse of some of the places that our city has to offer.
Golconda fort WalK:
One of India’s most impregnable forts, the historical Golconda fort is the stuff of legends. Once the gateway to diamond trading in the mediaeval world, the fort predates Hyderabad itself.

And history also includes food, either in the form of delectable kebabs or Pathar Ka Gosht, or other traditional items from Hyderabad cuisine. Our city is a food lover’s paradise, and our walks can also be tailored to accommodate the best it has to offer.

People often forget that Hyderabad and Secunderabad are twin cities, with the latter being the younger one. And Secunderabad in fact is the perfect way to understand and explore our city’s colonial aspects. With old churches to Irani cafes, the former British cantonment has its own vibe going.
