The ruins of Golconda

The Bike Affair’s Saturday Leisure Rides have always impressed me. It gives an opportunity to explore beautiful parts of Hyderabad right in the middle of the city but hidden from the naked eye! When a colleague and friend of mine from the US wanted to do some biking when he was in India, I picked this one. A few of my team mates also joined.

We were supposed to go through a secret trail through Golconda. What we experienced beat any expectations I had! We had to walk and sometimes lift our cycles to reach an elevated rampart within the fort premises and the view from there was amazing! We spent more than 30 mins relaxing there, enjoying the monsoon morning breeze, clicking pictures and sipping hot irani chai. We rode back well after morning traffic picked up, which scared my friend from the US. But he enjoyed the experience that he wanted to do the Sunday long ride the next day!
