Hidden gems

Hyderabad is full of well-kept secrets and seems to be far from the tourist trail. We have seen very few westerners here, and the main sites have been crawling with Indians. This makes things a bit more challenging because we stand out a bit more when there aren't other westerners to pose for photos with Indians and converse with them. We have been received amazingly well, it is just tiring by the end of the day. Old forts, tombs, palaces, and mosques have kept us busy site seeing and we feel like we have hardly scratched the surface. All of the sites have been amazingly maintained compared to many others that we have visited in other parts of the south. We aren't sure if that is as a result of private funds or a difference in government interest in the area.
