Travelogue: Ramoji Film City

My friend Simon and I have had unsuccessful plans to visit Ramoji Film City (RFC, the largest film studio complex in the world) in the past. All those times it was a wild goose chase for us as someone or the other from our friend circle couldn’t make it on time, eventually we scrapped all the plans.
Last week I have been to home for vacations. And this time Simon and I managed to visit RFC. There are ample of packages to visit RFC nonetheless we opted for a regular one-day trip offered by a private travels. We covered the below events in exact order.


  • Eureka
  • Caterpillar show
  • Vintage bus tour
  • Photoshoot
  • Lunch @ Alampana
  • Kripalu caves
  • Spirit of Ramoji Show and
  • Stunt show
The trip was enthralling and worth sharing

My Turn-ons of the trip:
  •  Hoola-hoop twirled by a lady performer was Stupendous. I couldn’t capture the stunt but this is what it was like.
  • Delicious hyderabadi biryani was available at regular restaurant rates.
  • Spectacular locations and
  • Pollution free air.
My Turn-offs of the trip:
  • Potty rooms @ the entrance (can’t compete with the counter parts of multiplex locations, huge scope for improvement) and
  • Hot sunny weather.
P.S: Apart from RFC trip I felt titanic difference in pollution (excessive use of motor-bikes, people in Hyderabad prefer motor-bikes to bicycles to go to next street) this time in Hyderabad. I became ill because of the pollution and I am bit scared to relocate in Hyderabad now because of the pollution.I may come up with another article in regard of my contribution towards conservation.
