Plan my Hyderabad trip

Getting to Hyderabad

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Hyderabad

flight · 2h

₹5,000

1 way / person

Mumbai → Hyderabad

flight · 1.5h

₹4,000

1 way / person

Bengaluru → Hyderabad

train · 11h

₹600

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Bengaluru → Hyderabad by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹17,504 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Hyderabad's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
