Tourism plans for Hyderabad
Hold your breath, very
soon apna Hyderabad is going to be on a transformation spree if one were to believe the Government's agenda for
the twin cities. Well, they are aiming for the sky but
maybe if we could at least reach till the tree-top, then
we swear Hyderabad will be the happening place in India.
So look ahead with your eyes wide open and mouth shut for
the things that are going to roll out in Hyderabad. Well here are the
plans.....

creation of landscapes, check dams, boating facilities, rock trails, cycle
tracks and "river walks".

when the ethnic shops and markets such as Lad Bazaar comes to life, the area is not crowded, it is cooler and
