INTRODUCTION The suitable landscape architecture of tourism resources plays a major role in planning and decision making process of urban planning and sustainable tourism. Landscape investigation is based on ecological oriented planning [1], which is useful for a careful analysis of the landscape stressing with ecological potential. The perfect analysis will be the major significant objective of the tourism resources. The continuous monitoring and evaluation of tourism resources helps in better planning and management of sustainable tourism. The proper landscape planning with minimum negative impacts on the natural, social and economic environment will provide the best tourism resources [2]. Every tourism resource has specific importance with geographical, historical, natural, social and economic values, which attracts the tourism. The tourism resources more familiar with their particular significance, aesthetic beauty of the resource, easy connection to the resource and availability of basic needs in the resource. The continuous analysis of tourism resources highlights the most important products of tourism in that particular region and also provides the comparative benefits of various tourism products. For evaluation of tourism resources, many studies were performed with different regions and with several methods. The evaluation of tourism resources using overlaying maps of various tourism factors, was an old method developed in USA, which was a computer based technology with digital cartography [3]. The evaluation can also achieved by using spatial data or maps of geographical features, land use and land cover, water resources (surface and groundwater), watershed area, transportation network (road, rail and air), forest area etc. The suitable integration method of these data sets will provide the potential tourism products of the study regions. The classification of data sets with comprehensive integration analysis model of natural resources and land-uses data of tourism resources results in planning and management methods of sustainable tourism development. In the present study, the tourism resources of Hyderabad City, Telangana State, India are identified and the evaluation of various regions were performed. Based on the evaluation of tourism resources, different tourism products were identified with specifications and comparative benefits were analyzed for sustainable tourism development. 2. METHODOLOGY Hyderabad is the fourth most populous city in India and capital city of Telangana State, which is newly created 29th state of India that came to existence on the June 2, 2014 [4]. Telangana is the 12th largest state in India, which is bounded with Odisha and Chhattisgarh States in the North, Maharashtra and Karnataka States in the West and Andhra Pradesh state in South and East sides. Hyderabad city lies between 78°28ʹ29.53ʺ E longitude and 17°25ʹ18.30ʺ N latitude over an area of 260 km2. Hyderabad is a world famous silicon city and it is a city of impressive lakes, like Hussain Sagar, which is “The largest Heart Shaped Lake” in India [5]. It was built at the center of Hyderabad city in 1562 A.D mainly to store drinking water brought from the http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 763 [email protected] Chitla N R Santhoshini, Riken Homma and Kazuhisa Iki river Musi, a tributary of Krishna River. The city is located in Deccan Plateau around 536 meters above the sea level with unique rock formation landscape. The city falls under seismic zone-I which least exposed to earthquakes. The city covered with red sand type soil and the highest point of city is Banjara Hills. The city is placed on the banks of Musi River, which was originated from Anantagiri Hills. The Musi flows from west to east direction, and it shows the general slope of the city which is eastward. The urban expansion in Hyderabad City is a mixture of spread and road gravity expansion. The urban expansion is mainly by spread (about 79), but it is resisted by the slope. The reason for the urban expansion is due to IT industries, educational institutes and historical/tourist places [6]. Hyderabad is famous for different art and craft embedded in silks and the most beautiful ancient art is Kalamkari art. Kalamkari or Qalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile produced mainly in parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana state. Hyderabad is a central hub for shopping of traditional handloom cloths. Hyderabad is an easy accessible and has most frequent connection with major cities in India and with other countries. Hyderabad has Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, located in Shamshabad, which is 22km to the southwest of the city. Hyderabad is connected with frequent air and train services with other metropolis like Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkatta, Mumbai and New Delhi. Hyderabad is located in southern region of India and it is connected with frequent bus and train services to all major cities and towns. In the present study, 1445Km2 area has considered as a study area along with outer ring road of Hyderabad City. Few tourist places were outside of the ring road, with good road connection. The detailed list of places and study area map has shown in Figure 1. INDIA Hyderabad City Map Telangana State Figure 1. Location map of Hyderabad city and list of tourist palaces 3. TOURISM RESOURCES AND METHODOLOGY The Hyderabad has several historical places and monuments, which attracts many tourists from all parts of the world irrespective of seasons. For easy analysis, the tourist places categorized into Historical Monuments and Places, Religious Places, Museums and Planetariums, Parks and Lakes, and entertainment and shopping.

Golconda Fort: About Golconda Fort: Golconda Fort is one of the most wonderful monuments, located 11 km. from Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh. The name of Golconda originates from the telgu words "Golla" and "Konda" which means 'shepard's hill'. One of the most important features of this fort is that the sounds of hands clapped at the entry gate can be heard quite clearly at the top of the hill. History of Golconda Fort : The 13th century Golconda Fort was built by the Kakatiya kings. The existing structure was later built by Qutub Shahi Kings into a massive fort with granite walls having eight gates and 87 bastions spread upto 7 kms, in circumference over a span of 62 years. Golconda Fort, popularly known in Telgu as "Golla Konda", which means "Shepherd's Hill", has an exotic story behind it. In 1143, on the rocky hill known as 'Mangalavaram', a shepherd boy came across an image and conveyed to the Kakatiya king, who was ruling at that time. The 10km long road from Golconda to outer Hyderabad was a fantastic market selling jewellery, diamonds, pearls and other gems, popular in all over the world. Qutub Shahi Tombs: About Qutub Shahi Tombs The Qutub Shahi Tombs is situated 2 km.

  • The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights
    The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights Activities Overnight Day 1 Fly U.S. to Hyderabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

  • Over the Years
    Over the Years Indra Rai Sharma Over the Years -A Photo Autobiography In 2010 before going to US, I had been going through my old papers. As it appeared, I had wished to pen down my autobiography long back. In my diary on February 10, 1963, I had written that if I would ever write my autobiography, I would caption it ‘My Life and Dreams’. In 1997 again, in my acceptance letter to the notice regarding my impending retirement that I sent on June 23, to Mr. A. Sankara Narayanan, Executive Director, M/S Hindustan Motors, I wrote: “I wish I could pen down my years at HM some day and hope that it would provide useful insight for our budding engineers as Lee Iacocca’s biography or the book ’On a clear day you can see General Motors’ provided to millions of it readers.’ I knew that I was not that great a name in HM or industry, though I aspired to be one. Perhaps I didn’t select the right profession or I couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity that I got to convert the same to become big. I remember my teasing of my grandmother and later on my mother in school days by telling them time and again that they should not expect me to do routine household work, as I would be a big man. Later on I joked with some close friends and their wives that one day I would get into number 1 Rajpath. I meant Rastrapati Bhawan. I failed to become as great or big as I wanted but I did work very hard for every assignment that I got.

  • Hyderabad City: History & Tourism
    Hyderabad City: History & Tourism Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh of South India. The city was founded on the River Musi by Muham- mad Quli Qutab Shah in 1591. The city is located on the Deccan Plateau and it is the fifth largest city of India. This cosmopolitan city is richly endowed with a variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amal- gam of old world charm together with new world of hi-technology. Hyderabad city has a history of nearly four hundred years. All its began with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. Quli Qutub Golconda Fort Shah seized the reins of power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the fortress city of Golconda. The history of Golconda goes back to the Kakatiya Dynasty in 11th century when they built a mud fortress on a hill called Golconda. Inadequacy of water, and fre- quent epidemics of plague and cholera persuaded Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi ruler to ven- ture outward to establish the new city with the Charminar at its cen- ter and with four great roads fan- ning out in the four cardinal direc- tions. The capital of the city was Bhagyanagar, which named after a royal beloved Bhagyamati. As she Charminar became the wife of Quli Qutub Shah, the sultan bestowed the title of Hy- 1 der Mahal on Bhagmati and thus was born Hyderabad. The Qutub Shahi rulers were great builders and patrons of learn- ing. Mohamed Quli Qutub Shah built the mosque, whose construc- tion began in 1614 and Aurangazeb completed it in 1687.
