Itinéraire
Ce temple vieux de 500 ans est dédié à Lord Venkateswara et est célèbre pour avoir exaucé les vœux de «Visa» des fidèles qui souhaitent partir à l'étranger! Les dévots suivent une procédure spécifique tout en cherchant des souhaits. Ils offrent 11 "pradakshinas" ou circumambulations autour du temple. Une fois que le souhait est exaucé, ils prennent 108 pradakshinas du temple pour exprimer leur gratitude et remercier Dieu.
Taramati Baradari est un music-hall remarquable avec une acoustique incroyable et notre prochain arrêt dans la tournée d'Hyderabad en une journée. Taramati était le danseur préféré de Abdullah Qutub Shah, le 7ème sultan de Golconda. Il a construit ce music-hall avec une acoustique étonnamment fine afin que sa voix puisse l'atteindre au Fort Golconda situé à 3 km.
Les tombeaux Qutub Shahi ont été érigés à la mémoire des anciens rois de Golconde. L'arc, les colonnes, les minarets à dôme et les galeries ont un aspect exquis et sont entourés de jardins appelés Ibrahim Bagh. Selon la légende, ces tombeaux ont été révérés pendant le règne des rois Qutub Shahi et même les criminels qui se sont réfugiés ici ont été pardonnés.
Birla Mandir est dédié à Lord Venkateswara, une incarnation de Lord Vishnu. Outre la divinité principale, Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman et Sai Baba sont également vénérés dans ce temple. Ce magnifique temple a été construit en utilisant 200 tonnes de marbre Rajasthani blanc pur et a pris 10 ans à construire. Le style architectural est un mélange de l'Inde du Sud, d'Utkala et du Rajasthan.
La dernière étape de notre visite à Hyderabad en une journée est le lac Hussain Sagar, le plus grand lac artificiel d’Asie, construit par Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah en 1563. La plus grande attraction du lac est la plus grande statue monolithique du monde, Buddha. La statue de Bouddha est à une hauteur de 72 pieds et pèse plus de 450 tonnes. Sa Sainteté le Dalaï Lama a consacré cette statue en 2006.

I learned a lot of history behind the making of Hyderabad and its attractions, thanks to Mr. Srinu Arvapalli, very experience and knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed a lot from his explanations. Thank you.
Great experience with the tour booking via whatsapp, last minute (1 day ahead). Very professional and the guide was great too!
I am glad you enjoyed Hyderabad. Thanks for taking the time to review this tour. It was our pleasure hosting you.
We took a Hyderabad City tour with Sainath. If you enjoy storytelling and don't mind the inaccuracy of information, I'd recommend this tour. It was an enjoyable day, and we visited multiple sites. Despite the hot May weather, Sainath was attentive, helping us stay in the shade and frequently trying to find cold water for us. However, DO NOT BOOK with this person/company if you care about factual accuracy. I believe the guide fabricated information approximately 95% of the time. At the moment, I didn't even question the facts; the storytelling was so smooth that I didn't realize someone could invent stories so easily. Some of the "imaginative stories" he told us about his life included: - Giving a tour to Bill Gates and taking him to a local restaurant. - Treasure hunting in India, where he supposedly found a gem worth $4 million USD with a group, and his share was $20,000 USD. - Losing 30kg in three months, which is a concerning rate of weight loss and not something to boast about. More importantly, I distrust several "facts" he shared about the monuments. For example, he claimed that diamond selling markets only occurred during the full moon, yet I couldn't find any supporting information online. In front of the fort, he stated that only people working inside were allowed to leave to keep the entrance a secret. However, once we were inside, he suddenly said there were monthly gem markets. He even described the exact location of the tax collector, where high-quality diamonds were collected, and where they were inspected. On another occasion, he mentioned there were five palaces, but the fifth was demolished—a claim unsupported by any internet resources I found. He never admitted not knowing something; for instance, he recalled the exact year of a random painting in the palace that had no label. I believe much of the misinformation he shared was highly creative storytelling built around a few basic facts. Overall, the day was still worthwhile. He took us to various places and saved us a lot of waiting time in the sun. It was a very self-reflecting experience to think back on this tour. Our only regret is not calling him out at the moment and even giving him a tip, as I feel bad for supporting this behavior.
To get the most out of my short time in Hyderabad, I booked this full-day tour along with a half-day walking tour the following morning (also through Five Senses). John was my guide for both tours, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He noticed that I was taking a lot of photos of architectural details at each site and tailored the tour accordingly (without me asking) by offering suggestions for photo spots and insights into the architecture as I was shooting. I would highly recommend this tour (also the “Guided Old City Walk”), especially if you can have John as your guide.
Thanks for these kind words. It was our pleasure hosting you on the Hyderabad city experience. I am glad John managed to meet all your expectations.
Azam is a patient tour guide. Arrived on time to pick me up, explained the attractions in detail and took me for the best Biryani. Highly recommended for 5 Senses.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was our pleasure hosting you on the Hyderabad City tour and i am glad you enjoyed it.
