Nizamabad
Spend a day in Nizamabad to see the fort and museum; stay elsewhere and return the same day.
Nizamabad is a small developing city in Telangana with a historic fort, a modest museum and local food stalls. Its sights are close together, so a single day covers the highlights; overnight accommodation is limited.
