Mumbai to Hyderabad
Comfortable outstation cab with professional drivers • Transparent fares • Flat 15% OFF on one-way trips
Overview
Hyderabad is the joint capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, 700 km southeast of Mumbai. The road journey takes 12-13 hours by AC Sedan, generally done overnight to arrive in the morning. The route goes Mumbai → Pune → Solapur → Zaheerabad → Hyderabad on NH 65 (formerly NH 9), a four-lane corridor for most of its length with a few two-lane sections in northern Karnataka and Telangana. The inter-state permit fee at the Maharashtra-Telangana border (Kagna check-post) is around 750 rupees one-way. For most travellers, flying is faster — but Mumbai-Hyderabad cab is preferred when you have 4-5 passengers and luggage (the per-head cost beats flights) or when the trip is a multi-stop drive (Solapur Pandharpur darshan, Tuljapur Bhavani temple, Akkalkot Swami Samarth — all on the route). Hyderabad itself is built around the 1591 Charminar (the city's signature four-pillar arch) and the Hussain Sagar lake (a 1562 reservoir with the 18-metre 1992 Buddha statue at its centre). Golconda Fort, 11 km west, was the Qutb Shahi capital before Hyderabad — the seven-tomb royal necropolis is one of India's most photographed Islamic complexes. Modern Hyderabad is India's pharma-and-IT capital (HITEC City, Genome Valley, Cyberabad), with Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills as the high-end residential belts and Hi-Tech City Park as the convention zone. Famous food: Hyderabadi biryani (Paradise, Bawarchi, Shadab), haleem (during Ramzan), Irani chai and Osmania biscuits. Best season is November to February; March-May is hot (40-44°C).
NH 48 / National Highway TelanganaHistory & Significance
Hyderabad was founded in 1591 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Golconda sultanate; it passed to the Mughals in 1687 and then became the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty (Nizams) from 1724. The last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, resisted merging with India for 13 months after independence; the Indian Army's Operation Polo in September 1948 ended the standoff and Hyderabad was absorbed into India, ending 225 years of Nizam rule.
