Golconda - sigh! yes.
You should try all approaches to Golconda - from the artillery centre and from the graveyard of the sultans.
BTW the open-air concert centre (what mahal is that i forget) is great!

Yaar Iron, there are many places in Hyd which I haven't visited in a long long time. The museum, Golconda, the zoo etc. are places which I'd love to go to again :-(

harish - a hyderabadi ...did you go to see the Nizam's jewels in Salar Jung!
The museum itself - from I rememebr is a treasure trove. Also it has been reorganised and it makes more sense now.
One thing though I was impressed with on my last visit there - the cafeterias are very much improved and you can eat there. All of them have been taken over and tendered to retired army personnel (mostly NCO's) and the place is spic-n-span!

VRV, I didn't know you were Telugu. Iron, the irony is that I last visited the Salar Jung museum when I was a kind, around 15 years back. I don't even remember properly what I saw.

Actually I have a mirror behind it - at the right angle to see the two faces next to each other! reminds me of the fickle nature!
Coastal Andhra? Where? bandar? Vizag? - I was there towards the end of last year and early this year for a long trip - starting from Kolkutta.
