Paigah tombs is one of the old historical monuments located in old Hyderabad. These are cemeteries of the Paigah family who once served Nizams of Hyderabad.
This cemetery looks pretty beautiful from the outside and also gave a bit of a creepy experience from the inside which was thrilling if you are an adrenaline junkie. Not the scary creepy experience but the spooky kind of thrill.
Since it is an old building there are few reconstructions that were going on when I visited.
Due to which we didn't have full access to the entire tomb but hoping there'll be an axis soon enough.
It is a great place if you want to spend some time clicking beautiful photos as you get an aesthetic background.
A new place to discover along with your friends or family if you haven't you haven't seen the other side Of the Hyderabad.
