Hyderabad by Walk - Nampally

I was looking for heritage walks this year and saw Tanya's message about a Nampally walk. Decided to hop on and Vasu agreed to join. More interestingly Dilip's daughter Surabhi who is studying Fine Arts in Mumbai wanted to join as well.

Nampally Sarai

So we went. I first drove Surabhi along the Necklace Road where she glimpsed the Ambedkar statue, the Buddha statue, several other statues, the Mythri symbol, the Secretariat, the Saidanima tomb, the Lok Ayukta building, Moazzam Jahi market etc.

Interesting old buildings

We stopped at Diamond Cafe at Ek Minar and had a chai and lukmi, a khajoor and then met Tanya and others.

We walked from Nampally Serai to Ek Minar and saw some old buildings on the way to Subhan Bakery where she ordered fresh Rots.

Then the Yousufain dargah and the Shah Khamosh dargah.

I had to go to the airport to drop A so I left midway. Vasu and Surabhi continued the walk though. Not a bad start to 2026 by way of Heritage Walks.
