Exploring Hyderabad: Places to visit and eat at

We had heard a lot about Hyderabad’s culinary heritage but didn’t have a local contact to help us discover the hidden treasures. We took to social media for suggestions on-the-go using our swift Airtel 4G. From unknown monuments of the Nizam’s era and one-of-a-kind ice cream parlours to inspiring stories of overcoming all obstacles, we discovered Hyderabad through the eyes of the “virtual” locals.

  2. your pictures look amazing, how much money did you take whilst travelling for 5 months? i’m going in February for 3 1/2 months and wanted a rough guide?

    1. Hey Bianca, it largely depends on the countries you are visiting – there is a huge disparity in the budgets between say Patagonia and Bolivia/northern Peru. Brazil (the big cities) and Argentina (only the north-west is relatively cheaper) were the most expensive places for us. Having said that, in the 5 months (travelling 26,000 kilometres which included one internal flight), we spent around 12K USD (including flights to and from India). Happy travels!

  3. I’m quite curious about your picture of the waterfalls. How come there’s a rainbow coming out from the waterfalls? I thought rainbows only belonged to the skies.

  4. Very picturesque blogs and as rightly described below- less text and more of nice pictures, perfectly aligning with theme- if it is city, you capture the essentials to describe that city in pictures. If it is nature’s wonder, you capture the essentials accordingly. We came to know a lot about these four countries in South America through your blogs.

  5. Nice blog with less words and more of pictures talking about your journey so well. The amazingly clicked photos of your adventurous trip portrays the beauty of the places wonderfully. Surely, you had an awesome travelling experience.

  6. After your first article in Maharashtra Times visited your blog and become follower of your journey. It is Amazing and great achievement to visit such places . Your photos are nothing but great, few shots of Tajmahal on your blog are so unique that i have not seen them in any photo books of Taj.

    During Ganapatiutsav met Sandeep’s mother and father in our building at Vashi and to listen to your adventure from them was exciting .

    Wish you all the best and looking forward for new adventures
