Ferry to the Buddha statue is the best ride.. you will enjoy both in the way and at the site of statue.. The lighting at the statue is so good. Its a color changing statue.. so its best to go there in the evening.. There are different types of boats with different ticket prices. You can ride a ferry or cruise..its best experience. If you are going to Hyderabad, visit to this lake is must..

The best thing about this place is the ferry ride. Its really worth it . And then comes the statue of Buddha which is amazingly beautiful as its situated in the centre of the lake also the Lake is in the shape of heart although it May not seem like but its a heart!

A very beautiful place to visit in evening time. Complete satisfaction to the eye.

Beautiful natural sandstone statue, in the middle of Hussain Sagar Lake..So nicely carved, its serene looks make you fall in love with it

The Buddha Statue of Hyderabad is a monolith located in India. It is the worlds tallest monolith of Gautama Buddha, erected on Gibraltar Rock in the middle of Hussain Sagar.Hyderabad is the capital of the state of Telangana (separated from Andhra Pradesh on 2 June 2014). Between 1983 and 1989, N. T. Rama Rao served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. During his tenure, he spent large sums to erect several statues of people from the regions political and religious history. During his visit to New York, he saw the Statue of Liberty and was inspired by the efforts to restore it. He said I wanted something like that great place to visit... That would have been my contribution to society.Rama Rao chose to depict Gautama Buddha because he was a humanitarian who told the whole truth to the people. It is our pride. After a long search, he found a solid white granite rock near Raigiri, Bhongir(Nalgonda District) on a mountainside 46 km outside Hyderabad. In October 1985 NTR inaugurated work on structure. For over a year, hundreds of labourers helped the temple architect and builder S.M.Ganapathi Sthapati create the statue. After five years and the expenditure of US$3 million, the statue stood at 58 feet (18 m) and weighed 350 tons, making it the worlds tallest monolithic statue of the Buddha. A concrete platform measuring 15 feet (4.6 m), now referred to as the Rock of Gibraltar, was constructed in the middle of Hussain Sagar to aid in erecting the statue. The roads of the city were also widened for this purpose.This statue is located at Lumbini Park in the Hussain Sagar Island can be reached by boat in 15 minutes. The statue is near to Lakdi-Ka-Pul, Khairatabad and Assembly Hyderabad metro stations.The accidentThen government of Andhra Pradesh led by N. T. Rama Rao was ousted in 1989. By the next year, the statue was ready for erection. ABC Limited, a local company, was given the responsibility of transferring the statue onto the concrete platform. Using a trailer vehicle, the statue was brought to the shore of Hussain Sagar. On 10 March 1990, company workers shifted the statue on top of a barge. After traveling only 100 yards (91 m), the statue tipped and fell into the lake. The accident killed 10 people.After a two-year salvage operation, the statue was pulled out of the lake. On 1 December 1992, the statue was installed on the platform successfully. In 2006, the Dalai Lama consecrated the statue after performing a ritual.

Must visit place in Hyderabad. Recommended to take boat trip in Hussain Sagar. Night view would be great experience

Wow, its a very pleasant place to be at Buddha statue a very tiny Island located in Hussain Sagar Lake. The height of Buddha statue is 62 feet.Evening i.e a hour before the sunset is the best time to visit and enjoy the chill Breeze with your family and loved ones.To reach there, One should purchase mechanised boat tickets pricing INR 50/- per head and will be available inside the Lumbini park.

The only backdrop is youve to wait a lot of time ( at least 30 mins ) after boarding the boat to actually sail to the statue. You might miss any other place on your list because of their delay.

This place is brings you a fresh feel. One can feel the beauty and peace of nature. The sunset and night lights are center of attraction.

Most tourist attracting place. Travel in night time that was good

The only thing good in lumbini park

Nice place to visit. The 10 minute ferry ride is soothing. Once on the island, the Buddha Statue stands tall with a 360 degree walking path available. Click as many photos you want.

Nice place!!!went there in a boat started from Eat Street side on Necklace road...fare doesnt seem costly, only problem was with bad smell from Hussain Sagar water!!

Its a great monument a d one of the biggest monument of Buddha in India. Sculpted out from a single granite stone its a gem of Engineering. Evening scenery is truly indulging to view.

Forgot everything and just watch Buddha statue.. u feel u seeing a wonder ....Best place in Hyderabad to visit with family.... Specially with kids ...

It place was so polluted and it was so nice

Great place, the view of the city is great. The island is very well maintained

Its a very very nice location budda loved it

Tallest monolithic Buddha Statue in IndiaMust watch place in Hyd

The boat trip to the Buddha statue from Lumbini park is really nice. A one time see. A nice short boat ride to the statue and back which is very reasonable. There is. Boat every few minutes so its not much waiting time. The speed boat just goes around the statue and doesnt stop there so taking the normal cheap boat is the best.

The Buddha Statue is located in centre of the Hussainsagar Lake in the city. It is a amazing tourist attraction for the people in the city.You only reach the statue via boat or ship that takes you there, the cost of the same is not very high. You can reach the statue and return by via the ships or boat which are very frequently available. You will also find beautiful engravings below the statue. Also you must visit the statue during sunset for best experience, you will be able to see the beautiful lighting after sunset.The food is not so tasty here, you can easily eat at any restaurant near the area.

Nothing much to see around the statue. You go there by ferry arranged at the cost of Rs 55 per person. It is also not that much exciting as it just take you there and get you back with 10 minutes of stay. However, scenes become pleasant in the night when it covered with lights and cool breeze. There is a shop in the park where you can get something to eat if you want else nothing much at the Buddha statue spot.

Good place.. you need to take ferry ride to reach here.. 30 minutes you will get to spend

Peacefull...place of hyderabad.

NiceThis statue is located at Lumbini Park in the Hussain Sagar Island can be reached by boat in 15 minutes.The statue is near to Lakdi-Ka-Pul, Khairatabad and Assembly Hyderabad metro stations.Rama Rao chose to depict Gautama Buddha because he was a humanitarian who told the whole truth to the people. It is our pride.

Amazing place to visit at the Evening !

Very nice place, crowdy on Sunday evenings

Excellent cleen & safe

SuperrNice viewing location

Neatly maintenance awesome lighting

The place is known as hussain sagar lake itself if u wanna reach here u will be offered a tour bus or a rickshaw but its better to take cab instead ola or uber because they charge u lesser than the rickshaw man even for a short distance they take 100 or more rs. Dont trust them if they tell u to visit some shops while they drive u in search of hydrabad pearls bcz they have a tie up with the shop they take u. They get commission for it. And they arent even completely original and cost more.The buddha statue is in the center of the lake.U have to buy a seperate ticket for the boat which takes u there.The boat is safe and takes as many people asmany seats are there. And compulsory life jackets are to be worn which will be given on the boat itself.The boat drops u and leaves and there are continuously same batches of people coming there in time interval.There is only a statue and u can find coffee stands also.I suggest to visit at night due to lighting in the park .Dont forget to take a look next to the statue in the lake itself is our indian national flag ( largest Indian flag ).Except the statue there will be jewelry stands who sell oxidized jewelry for cheap rates than the shops. And rides for kids. And there will be dine in restaurants at the exit . All the restaurants are great. Their food is great for the price.

Pleasant place to visit here.

It was a nice experience visiting this place. First we thought to take a speed boat but it was not going to stop on this statue so we had to opt for the normal ferry that cost around 55 rs per person and it took Around 30 min to visit this. This place has a totally different ambiance at night so if you are planning to visit go in night

One of the best places in Hyderabad to hangout. Trust me it will make your evening,Evening is the best time to visit here, best place to hangout with friends and families, great view from around the statue , and also because of its location as it is situated on the centre of Hussain Sagar lake , .....................................................................

Nice tourist attraction. Buddha statue is created in between Hussain sagar lake and to reach that you can go by boats.. It is quiet cheaper s to and fro cost only 55₹Evening time is best when the lights are on to visit the statue.

Beautiful place to hangout. Lot of parking constraints. There are good restaurants beside lake with attractive views. To reach near buddha statue you need to go via boat. There are different prices for different kinds of boats.. suggested to visit on week days to avoid crowd and enjoy the place peacefully..

Excellent place to enjoy (only statue place )

Nice place to visit with family. Only mechanised boats will alight at the Buddha statue. The lake water is not maintained properly and you have to bear the stinking smell for the short duration. There are other attractions like bungee jumping too here.

MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE HYDERABAD ️️SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE AND ALSO PEACEFUL PLACE

Awesome place

This is really good place for visit with your family and friends. I would suggest you to visit at the evening you will get a nice sunset.

Amazing place.. Especially boat ride to this beautiful Buddha statue was an amazing experience..Nice clean air, scenery which you will like definitely..A must go place, if you are in Hyderabad... Boat rides are also cheap, you can have a good time with your family..

Single piece granite stone, carved at Bhongir, about55 km away brought by road, initially fell in water which is about 9m deep, in 1989, taken out from water and erected on natural rock foundation, 15m height x12m thick statue weighs 550Tones, finally erected after about one year

It will give a similar experience like liberty of unity statue(USA). Hussain Sagar is Famous for this. Must visit If youre in Hyderabad tour.

Beautiful place.. Must go for the boat ride to the buddha statue.Lake water is a bit dirty and there is a smell everyone.The last boat is around 9pm as it closes by 9.30. The statue is beautiful and adorable

Statue of Buddha in hussain sagar, steamer ride is very good with full safety, evening musical light show is awesome at statue near the entrance park, fountain and garden is there which is also enjoyable, prices are too high for food items, also too much crowdy place in hyderabad

Buddha statue is awesome and must visit place in Hyderabad. It is located in center of Hussein Sagar lake and you need to reach statue via boat ride. The boat ride starts from Lumbini park and it costs around 55 Rupees for adult. The boats are well maintained , each and every person is provided with a life jacket. The ride is safe and smooth. To view the statue there is no entry ticket. You can stay as long as you can at statue. The most amazing thing is that, you have eateries at the statue. It is always better to go in evening to watch Buddha on a crescent moon night.There are two varieties of boat rides offered one is the power boat and other is normal. The power boat costs 350 per person.

Middle in the lake, A grand big statue of Lord Buddha, very exciting to visit the place by boat or small cruse. Beautiful Lighting & nice clean pullution free place.

Very great place to visit in middle of water. You can sit and enjoy there. Good breeze and very silent.

It was silent and pleasant experience. Soothing breeze and satisfying view point makes your evening. There are many things which can be improved like Lumbini park, rides, more equipments for entertainment and last not least is cleanliness. The lake is very dirty, smells like gutter. The park is small but still you can enjoy with family and kids. The important thing is Hyderabad got such a place at the centre of city, reachable.

One of the best historical place in india

One of the best place in Hyderabad at rainy season in night trip..

Nice to see should take boat to get their but the water is spoiled their completely irresponsible in hygiene maintenance dirty and smells bad should take strict action against it also the they charges more for bag storage. Over all happy to see the lord Buddha getting some calmness and some peace also attractive at night time the lake is big can take for walking and jogging at morning or evening across it.

Hussain Sagar lake and the Buddha Statue are prominent tourist destinations in Hyderabad.The lake, which is the largest hard shaped mark in the world, derives it’s name from Hussain Shah Wali, the man who designed it across a tributary of Musi river during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah in 1563.Standing at 58 feet (18 meters), Buddha Statue of Hyderabad is the world’s largest monolith of Gautama Buddha - erected on Gibraltar rock. NT Rama Rao, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh during his visit to the US was inspired by the Statue of Liberty in New York and decided to have a statue of someone who is relevant in the region.Works on the statue were started in 1985 after a large solid white granite rock was identified near Raigiri in Bhongir. In 1990 when the statue was being taken to be erected, it tipped and fell into the lake killing 10 people. After several glitches, the statue was erected on December 1, 1992 and was consecrated by Dalai Lama in 2006. There are boat rides from Lumbini Park to reach the statue. Entry fee to Lumbini Park is Rs 20 for adults and Rs 10 for kids. For boat rides which take tourists to the statue, fee is Rs 50 for adults and Rs 30 for kids. For speed boats, Rs 350 for a family of four is the fee.Caution: If you are willing to bear the foul smell (measures are being taken to contain it) because of the drainage water in the lake, a visit to the Buddha Statue is a must. #DayOut #Buddha #GautamaBuddha #BuddhaStatue #Hyderabad #HussainSagar #Lake #HeartShaped #DalaiLama #NTR #Telangana #India #Travel #Explore #Learn #History #GloriousPast

The place is so beautiful with great ambience. We went near the statue on boats. The boat ride was good. Near the statue there are many people clicking photographs. There are people taking instant photos with the statue for reasonable price. The statue surrounding were maintained nicely. The place itself is neat and well maintained despite handling lots of tourist crowds.

The place is peaceful located at the middle of the lake it was amazing experience

Amazing and iconic! Have been there 100s times and yet enjoy it. A must visit place for Hyderabad visitor.

Nice big Buddha statue between Anna sagar lake
