The Krishna Kanth Park is one of the green spaces in Hyderabad, so be sure to maximize your visit if you want to take a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The park has been laid out well, with verdant vegetation and medicinal herbs planted across the 22-acre (9 hectares) property. Colorful flowers that dot the area add pops of colors and add variety to the manicured landscape. If you’re a birding enthusiast, do keep your eyes and ears open for these feathered creatures flitting from one tree to another. If you’re an early riser, head over to the park and join the other joggers here if you want to get some exercise while on your trip. If you want to get out of the sun for a little while, there’s a small museum in the park that you can check out (do note that the museum closes at 5 pm). You can also spend some time by the lake, although it does dry up when the weather gets too hot. There are benches around the park where you can sit on if you get tired of strolling along the area. If you’re traveling with kids, there’s a small playground where they can have fun playing at.
