Ride to Durgam Chevuru – Hyderabad.

Most people who know Hyderabad will be surprised that a ride Durgam Chevuru is being written about.

That’s because this lake borders the Hi Tech City area and almost everyone who works there sees this lake either en route or maybe even from their office windows.

But there is another approach to this beautiful lake from the old Bombay highway.

If for some reason the url breaks out here are the latitude and longitude values
lat=17.422345
lon=78.384318


It shall be centered on a mud trail.
Follow the trail upwards and you will find Durgam Chevuru.

Go there and figure out a way to get onto the path as the main access way is cutoff due to pipeline work.

Do not go late in the evening.
The route is not exactly easy to handle for a first timer.
Be careful, but remember bones heal.

If you are riding without a helmet you are just plain stupid.

I have seen an Amby on the top the last time I went there.
Anyone with a nice jeep may want to try this out:thumbs up.

Have fun, ride safe.

I was surprised by seeing the title itself about this. Anyways it would be useful to those who visit Hyderabad on their way to destination may be useful if they plan to spend time in city.

This is not exactly a tourist spot!

the off roading element is very nice, there is one more trail I have shortlisted behind the durgah on the top.
will post up on it once I do it.

Though not a tourist spot, its a very nice place to hangout in the evenings when you have some time to kill.

Can we do that bit on a car? Or is it only Jeepable?
Looks interesting though, seeing the lake from a different angle.

If the car has a great ground clearance then YES.
but not right now as the approach way is cut off due to the pipeline work.

The whole stretch is about a KM in lenght.
You can walk up, inspect and then decide if you want to risk your car on it.

BTW, the spot is also great for anyone wanting to try rock climbing.

Interesting! I used to visit durgam cheruvu when it was known as secret lake and there used to a steep road that you would dread to do even in the best of SUV's.

Alas, that road now has been taken down due to the developments that happened in that area.
