Hyderabad has a tropical wet and dry climate and experiences dry, cool winters and dry, hot summers, with a monsoon season occurring in between. The coolest time of the year is from October to February. This is the ideal time to go as temperatures are significantly cooler than the rest of the year, sitting around the mid-20s. Summer in Hyderabad occurs between the months of March to June, and sees temperatures rise to the high 30s, sometimes reaching the 40s. This is low-season, as most visitors are discouraged by the excessive heat. If you are not bothered by the scorching temperatures, take advantage of the low-season restaurant and hotel rates (just be sure to stay well-hydrated)! Monsoon season runs from June to September, and travel to Hyderabad is not encouraged during this time due to heavy rainfall and high levels of humidity.

Hyderabad is an ancient, yet dynamic city, located on the banks of the Musi River in India’s Telangana State. Established in 1591, Hyderabad was ruled over by warring Indian dynasties for several centuries before finally being established as an independent city of the Republic of India. Today, the city still contains remnants of its pre-colonial occupation in its extensive collection of historical landmarks. The city has recently seen an influx of young Indian professionals, and the resulting focus has been on the upgrading and urbanisation of the city. This urbanisation has led to an extensive business expansion and trendy new restaurants, bars and pubs have been established. Heritage walks, which are guided tours around the city, are available every Saturday and Sunday, and tickets can be purchased on arrival.
