Tour Overview

Falaknuma Palace – The Jewel of Hyderabad’s Skyline Perched majestically 2,000 feet above the City of Pearls, Falaknuma Palace is a celestial marvel that seems to touch the sky, spread over 32 acres of sheer opulence. Built in 1894, this architectural masterpiece is a symphony of grandeur, intricate stucco work, and timeless elegance, offering a journey through the golden era of the Nizams. Step into a world where history whispers through the marble corridors and rosewood parquet floors, retracing the footsteps of Nizams, European royalty, eminent Begums, and Heads of State. Every ornate archway and chandelier-lit hall echoes the tales of an era where royalty reigned supreme, and luxury knew no bounds. The Grand Heritage Walk immerses you in this bygone splendor, culminating in an exquisite Hi-Tea experience fit for kings. Indulge in the signature Nizam’s Masala Hi-Tea or a classic English Hi-Tea, served in the breathtaking settings of Celeste, Gol Bungalow, or the Jade Terrace
