Dhola-ri-Dhani, Hyderabad

Dhola-ri-Dhani in Hyderabad is a replica of an ethnic Rajasthani village. The place forms the ideal weekend getaway since it is located far from the maddening crowds of the main city. The place is only 11 km from the city of Secunderabad and is well known as a theme restaurant. You feel like a royal as soon as you enter the place through a majestic gate. You step into a world of folklore from Rajasthan. In the evening, the entire place is lighted with close to 2000 lanterns and the whole place starts bursting and bubbling with activity.

The place has plenty of entertainment and fun to offer, including camel and horse rides, folk music and dances, puppet shows, rain dance and boating. There is also a swimming pool, with waves, to beat the heat of Hyderabad. If you are lucky, you can also catch the shooting of Telugu movies since the place is a favourite for film shoots.
