Overview

This Hyderabad weekend tour package covers three days and two nights in Telangana. You spend one night in Hyderabad, seeing Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Golconda Fort and the Qutb Shahi tombs, and one night in Pochampally, the ikat weaving village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district. It suits couples and friends with a free weekend, from November to February.

Who it suits

Couples and friends who want old-city monuments and a working handloom village in one short break, and don't mind a few steps and uneven paths

Highlights

Charminar, HyderabadLaad BazaarMecca MasjidGolconda FortQutb Shahi tombsHyderabadi biryani dinnerPochampally ikatWeavers at the loomTelia Rumal and ikat sareesBhoodan Pochampally

Good to know

Working looms

Day 3 is built around watching weavers, so start dates are best chosen with the village's working days in mind

Mosque and temple visits

Dress modestly, and cover the head and shoulders where asked at Mecca Masjid

Golconda climb

Reaching the upper fort means a long walk uphill on stone steps, and an early start avoids the midday heat

Last day

The airport is roughly 50 to 60 km from Pochampally, so book a flight that leaves well after midday
