Things to do in Hyderabad

1. Husain Sagar Lake

When we talk about Hyderabad, the first thing that comes to our mind is Hussain Sagar Lake.

It is one of the most important attractions in Hyderabad. This is the largest artificial lake in Asia, built on the tributary of the river ‘Musi’. It is located between the twin cities -Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The white granite statue of the standing Buddha, on top of the ‘Rock of Gibraltar’ [the tall concrete platform], makes the lake more attractive.

When you visit Hyderabad, don’t miss this beauty. You can enjoy boating on the lake.
