I think lets freeze on June 30th and Nagarjunsagar Dam as the destination as by then the rains would have come and weather would be really awesome.

This time, lets take the boat ride to the island where the museum is located. What say all?

I am from Hyderabad too and would be happy to part of weekend drives.
Did not know about such drives/meets so far.

What else one need apart from a vehicle and enthu to be part of this?

Just been to Belum Caves (near Tadipatri, Anantapur district) and Lepakshi temple (near Hindupur, Anantapur District) few days ago with a friend. 1000km drive in 3 days.

Meeting Points:-

I would reckon we have one at gachibowli and second one at shamshabad airport (somewhere on the orr rather than nh7,else gachibowli gang would have to pay toll twice)

Proceed on the orr beyond airport and then take the exit which joins n'sagar road

We can keep one meeting point that is exits from ORR and meets Nsagar road and other meeting point the old one which is Opp. to GE Office in Uppal.

For people living in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the Shamshabad route will not work as it will be too circutious

+1 Avi. These two meeting points make sense for all who live around. These have spots for breakfast too in case anyone wants to have and then start the drive like when we did the meet at 'The Ranch'!

I think even for people from the IT side of town, the route via city would be closer than the ORR.
Even the traffic would be less on a sunday morning.

Btw...for people on the Hyderabad side, Uppal route is circuitous. The best would be via Koti n Sayidabad.

Btw...at what time do we assemble at various points? We should set 7.30am as the time at the final assembly point. That way ppl can make it by 8 or 8.15 as is the habit of Hyderabadies

[racer_ash]

Hope that rain gods grace us during the day of the drive. After the initial downpours, rains have pretty much stopped and heat has started picking up again. If 30th turns out to be like today, then we can very well term it as a Hyderabad Summer Drive
