Plan to visit Hyderabad last year during Dec 2014 was cancelled because of the swine flu outbreak. We made it to Hyderabad this year successfully. We had decided to drive to Hyderabad from Bengaluru. The NH7 connecting both the cities was amazing. The drive was too smooth. Unlike BLR-CBE or BLR-MYS highways this one was almost deserted. Though the road was empty one needs to be careful because it gets monotonous and easy to lose concentration.
We left at 4:30AM but was slowed down inside Bengaluru itself because one side of the road from sony world junction to indiranagar was blocked for 2015 Bengaluru Marathon. We took 10 hours to reach Hyd as we made more than 8-10 stops. Driving back took 8 Hrs as Harsh slept for most part of the drive :).
Make sure you fill up your car and also yourself before leaving as there are very very few petrol bunks and restaurants.
Some pics of the highway.
Beautiful 4 lane road with colorful flowers dividing the road.
Sun rise somewhere on the way.
A big thanks to Google maps which helped me in navigating through the crowded and narrow streets of Hyderabad. It worked perfectly well in taking me to all the places except one. More posts from the trip coming up in next few days.
