State-run tours from Hyderabad
The Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation runs regular bus tours from Hyderabad. They follow fixed routes and timings, with a set pick-up point in the city. GoldBox Holidays is a private travel company and is not connected to the government. We help you understand each tour and book your seats.
These tours work well for families, senior citizens and first-time visitors who want a simple day out with no driving. A guide or tour escort usually travels with the group and handles entry at each stop. You only need to reach the pick-up point on time and enjoy the day.

Planning tips
October to February is the best season for most of these trips. Bogatha falls is fullest from July to October, but check if the site is open after heavy rain. Temple tours can start very early, so be at the pick-up point on time. Carry drinking water, a cap and a light shawl for air-conditioned buses. Weekend seats fill fast, so book a few days ahead.
