Hyderabad Trip Overview
There is a hidden heritage of every city and this is very true in the case of Hyderabad where modern buildings and structures have super-imposed themselves on the architectural past of the city. But a walk in some of the bye-lanes of the Old City will reveal a slice of the magnificent past that was Hyderabad. This walk will take you to some of the old deoris (or havelis) that were home to the noblemen of the past. Some of them have been converted to public buildings and some are holding on tenaciously to the spirit of the old Hyderabad that was. If you are a lover of things of the past and want to discover glimpses of the glorious architecture of the past, spend a few hours with us exploring the hidden Hyderabad.

On this walk, we will discover some of Hyderabad’s crumbling but magnificent past. We will visit the remnants of three homes of the Paigah noblemen, visit a beautiful Sufi Shrine tucked away in the bye-lanes of the Old City as well as the Badshahi Ashurkhana where you will hear the stories of the Battle of Karbala and how it impacts the divide in the community even today.
We will start the walk near the Charminar entrance and proceed towards Laad Bazaar. Here, you will be shown some of the older arched doorways and old shops that are still functioning. After a quick stop at Mahboob Chowk clock tower surrounded by its quaint antique shops, we will then proceed to the Paigah Lane. After a walk around the courtyards of the crumbling havelis, we will head to the other side of the old city where we will experience the peace at a beautiful Sufi Shrine where we will understand more about Sufism. The walk will end at Badshahi Ashurkhana.
