About Banjara Hills
What are the main landmarks in Banjara Hills?
The landmarks read like a cross-section of the neighbourhood's past and present.

Sport has a home here too.
The Kotla Vijay Bhaskar Reddy Indoor Stadium fills out the roster.
What is the history of Banjara Hills?
This ground began as forest. A hilly, wooded tract that few people inhabited, it served the Nizam's dynasty as a hunting ground, and only a handful of royal members of that house kept places on the rise while the rest of Hyderabad grew below. The forest gave way to streets.
What was once a hunting reserve turned into an urban commercial centre, and the numbered roads of Banjara Hills filled with high-end hotels and restaurants alongside the offices of global corporations.
Where is Banjara Hills?
Banjara Hills rises on a formerly forested tract of Hyderabad, its fourteen numbered roads threading a warm, tropical stretch of the city beside Jubilee Hills.
