    • Start your Hyderabad heritage tour with a morning pickup from your hotel. 
    • Begin by visiting the Golconda Fort. Take advantage of the morning’s cooler temperature as you scale the 365 steps of this medieval structure. It is a site which was once part of India’s Kakatiya Dynasty that dates back to the 11th century. Here, we will cover Bala Hisar gate, Clapping Portico, Diamond Market, Water Supply system, Taramati Mosque, Ibrahim Majid, Ramdas Jail, Jagadamba Temple, Baradari, Shah Palace, Begum Havelis, Royal Kitchen, Central Court and Hammams.
    • A kilometre from Golconda Fort, you will enter into one of the world’s largest tombs complex, a Resting place of Qutub Shahi kings. Explore Tombs of the Kings, Mosques, Step Wells and Hamams. It is 110 acres of land and has more than 80 monuments.
    • Next, proceed to Charminar, a city monument designed in the Qutub Shahi architectural style that’s known as one of the most famous sights in India. You can also climb the monument’s narrow steps to enjoy a sky-high view of the city below. Go to Laad Bazaar Street, a shopping area offering everything from bangles to bridal accessories to ‘attar’ (essential oil), antiques and pearls.
    • Afterwards, go to Chowmahalla Palace (four palaces). It is the palace of the Nizams of Hyderabad State in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty and was the official residence of the Nizams of Hyderabad while they ruled their state. The palace was built by Nizam Salabat Jung[2] and remains the property of the Nizam. Some members of the Hyderabadi Nizam family have wed here. The word chār or chahār, and its variation chow, means "four", and the word mahal means "palace" in Urdu, Hindi and Persian. All ceremonial functions, including the accession of the Nizams and receptions for the Governor-general, were held at this palace. The UNESCO Asia Pacific Merit Award for cultural heritage conservation was presented to Chowmahalla Palace on 15 March 2010. UNESCO representative Takahiko Makino formally handed over the plaque and certificate to Princess Esra, former wife and GPA holder of Prince Mukarram Jah Bahadur.
