14 Sunset Spots In Hyderabad If You Love Chasing Sunsets

As you drive down towards Whisper Valley in Jubilee Hills, you can gawk at a mix of old and new architecture. From the domes of Qutub Shahi Tombs and the Golconda Fort to houses spread across a vast area, watching the sunset over these iconic heritage spots is a lovely experience.

Have you ever watched the sunset behind the Buddha Statue? If not, you're definitely missing out. Find yourself during the sunset hour at Tank Bund and take long walks, or just look into the vastness of the sky as you watch the sun wash the sky in orange.

Go have a rocking time at Khajaguda Hills, just three kilometres away from Hitech City. Natural rock formations, boulders, and peacocks in the sight are a few things that define the hills. There's a dargah on top, and watching a sunrise or sunset here is not to be missed. It requires a basic trek and lots of photographers go here to practice photography or to perfect those drone shots.

As evening sets, By The Bottle is one of the coolest bars to find yourself at. The indoor seating is super noisy, so ditch that and go for the rooftop seating, where you can watch the sunset and enjoy your drinks with pocket-friendly starters. With an awesome menu for happy hours, you can score drinks starting at INR 79 only.

One of Hyderabad’s best-kept secrets, Mahabodhi Buddha Vihara is a Buddhist temple and monastery where you can go to meditate for hours together. Transporting you to the streets and monastery of Dharamshala, you can spend quiet time here and watch the sunset because it offers a lovely view of Secunderabad. 

No travel tour is complete without a visit to Birla Mandir. Located in Khairatabad, this temple is built on a 280-feet high hill, making it visible from many areas of Hyderabad. This also means that the view from the top is fantastic. Go here on an evening, and come back through the lanes of Adarsh Nagar that sell bangles and fancy jewellery of all kinds. However, keep in mind that mobile phones or cameras aren’t allowed into the temple.

Gandipet Lake (also known as Osman Sagar Lake), as we know, is a feast to one's eye in the evenings. Apart from being a photographer's paradise, it's a popular picnic spot, drawing crowds of all ages. So, if you want a lake-view picnic while watching a beautiful sunset, go here. 

Just a couple of kilometres away from the urban concrete jungle lies Qutb Shahi Tombs, which houses seven tombs dedicated to the former kings of Golconda who ruled for about 170 years. Forming a large cluster, these tombs are known for their architectural design and are often frequented by photographers. You've got to be here during the sunset, which is amazing, and we recommend getting here by 5 PM. 

Chasing sunset in a historical setting? Sounds like a scene out of a movie, doesn’t it? You can recreate it at Golconda Fort by visiting in the afternoon. Walk around, explore the place and find the highest spot towards the west for a magical sunset. Now, you might not be all alone here, but that doesn’t diminish the charm and allure of the sunset.

Waterside strolls along this reservoir is a popular weekend plan for many Hyderabadis. It’s 51 km away, which makes it a great long-drive destination and the sunset is worth the journey. What should you expect? On one side, there’s water and on other, you see farmlands with green pastures. Click pictures, make memories and keep the place clean!

Last House Coffee in Madhapur is perfect for surprising your special someone with a sunset date. Its rooftop seating overlooks Durgam Cheruvu and Inorbit Mall peeks through from a distance, making it a great spot inside the city. Enjoy the scenic views with delicious food and a hot cuppa.
