5 things to do while visiting Hyderabad
Be it a trip for business or pleasure, few places offer you more sights, sounds, history and activities than Hyderabad. Here's a quick list of what you simply can't miss.
Bangles and trinkets
It would be a crime not to visit Chudi Bazaar (the bangle market), right next to the famous Charminar. It offers a mind-boggling variety of bangles in every conceivable colour and material -- glass, plastic, lacquer, gold, pearls and silver. A pair of glass bangles cost as little as Rs 10, while lacquer ones could cost about Rs 120. Do not leave without some Karachi mehendi or henna (Rs 5 per cone). Bangles look far more beautiful on hennaed hands.
Shopping tips
Check out a shop called 'Fine Bangles' for lacquer and heavily decorated bangles, and 'Meena Bangles' for glass ones. The lane is dotted with shops on both sides, open from 11 am to 11.30 pm. Remember to bargain hard.
