Hyderabad - The City of Nawabs


We went to Hyderabad in January. It was a short trip of two days. We stayed at Ellaa Hotels.

City of Nawabs - View from the Golconda fort.

Our exploration of the city started with the Hussain Sagar Lake. It is an artificial lake. A large statue of Gautama Buddha is build on an island in the middle of the lake.
