Driving and Renting a Car in Telangana

Mobility

Given the size and diversity of Telangana, renting a car can be beneficial. It provides the flexibility to explore the region's destinations. The road network is extensive, with highways connecting major cities and towns.

Car Class Recommendations

We recommend renting a compact or mid-size car for city trips and shorter distances. For longer journeys and rough terrain, consider a 4x4 or SUV.

Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Remember that in India, we drive on the left side of the road. General speed limits are usually 80km/h on highways and 50km/h in built-up areas. Always stay aware of signage as limits may vary.

Not-to-Miss Attractions

Besides Hyderabad, other great cities to explore include Warangal, known for its ancient temples; and Nizamabad, with its museums and fort. Nature lovers should visit Nagarjuna Sagar Dam and Mallela Theertham Waterfall. Wildlife enthusiasts have Tadoba National Park and Mrugavani National Park to choose from.

Culture and People

Telangana has a vibrant cultural heritage, celebrated through dance, music, festivals, art, and cuisine. Telugu and Urdu are major languages, but English is widely understood. Local people are warm and hospitable, contributing to the region's charm.

Climate and Seasonal Events

Telangana has a tropical climate with monsoons typically occurring in July and lasting until September. Winters are mild, making it the best time to visit. Seasonal events such as Bathukamma (flower festival) and Bonalu (thanksgiving festival) present unique experiences.

Currency and Expenses

The Indian Rupee is the official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted but it's advisable to keep some cash for smaller vendors. Telangana offers options for all budgets, from luxury resorts to budget hotels and street food to upscale restaurants.
