Hyderabad Walking Tour & Culinary Workshop
Begin the morning with a visit to Golconda Fort and the Qutub Shahi Tombs, both standing as reminders of Hyderabad’s storied past. Next, head to Badshahi Ashur Khana, near Charminar, built in memory of Imam Hussain. This historic site offers a glimpse into the cultural and spiritual traditions of the region. From here, the food tour begins, offering a firsthand look at Hyderabad’s spice market, fresh produce stalls, and the sourcing of key ingredients that define the city’s flavors. Along the way, enjoy an authentic ethnic lunch featuring regional specialties. Continue to Laad Bazaar, known for its shimmering bangles and a variety of fragrant spices used in Hyderabadi cooking. This is the perfect place to pick up saffron, zaffrani ittar, or garam masala to take a piece of Hyderabad’s flavors home. Pause for a traditional Irani chai paired with Osmania biscuits, a classic combination loved by locals. In the evening, take part in a hands-on culinary workshop with a local family. Learn the secrets behind Hyderabadi dishes such as biryani, bagara baingan (stuffed eggplant curry), and qubani ka meetha (apricot dessert). Enjoy the meal you’ve helped prepare while hearing stories about Hyderabad’s traditions and way of life.
