Ramoji Rao Film City






Yesterday we went to visit Ramoji film city,we searched through the Internet to get the route,bus timings,and also the ticket fare.But we missed the bus so we decided to start our journey on our bike.It is nearly 25 k.m away from Hyderabad and it covers an area of around 2000 acres.When we reached, a large crowd was already present there.Ticket price was 600/ per adult and children above 3 years Rs 500/ including taxes.But outside food is strictly prohibited there and inside there 5 different restaurants are available charging almost Rs 130/ per lunch.

After clearing all their formalities we waited for their bus ,which will took us to EUREKA.From there we can go to FUNDUSTAN which is ultimately a game place for kids.But there were also some exciting houses like BORASURA which is called as a magicians workshop.On entering into that house we will be like in a magical world or we were kidnapped by a witch and we were in her a magical trap.Like the floors are moving one by one even though the walls also ,we saw a magician in a glass box and within one second he changed to a beautiful girl.And after experiencing that magical world we went to catch our next bus .

From there onwards a guide is provided on each bus to explain the places in our way and the last stop of that trip was HAWA MAHAL.During our journey we saw the model of MUGAL GARDEN (actually mugal garden is in Delhi) and one more thing about the garden is on looking from inside it will be like MYSORE GARDEN.Then we saw a huge bunglaw ,the guide told us that in film chandramukhi that one was the ghost house.Then we entered to streets of Londan ,there buildings were created exactly as in Londan.From there to Market place,and on the way there 4 central jails,two multi purpose buildings(either as court or college).Buland Darvaza,Golconda fort Golden temple,Taj Mahal,Gate way Of India,all duplicates are there.

And national highway roads (its very easy to change the road to NH ,by placing some signboards and removing the street lamps all are made up of cardboard),Angel Foundain ,Charisma Garden which was filled with yellow flowers (and guide said that they will change the colour of flowers according to the colour of saree of heroine).One hospital,Railway statin,Airport,Central Bus station everything is there.



In Japanese Garden two Japanese girls performed some kind of folk dance .Leg garden was also amazing as the name indicates two big legs with small body.Our bus dropped us in Hawa Mahal.After enjoying Hawa Mahal and Japanese garden we got another bus and that will drop us in front of Ajanta and Ellora Caves.Then from there we got another bus which took us to EUREKA,from where we started our journey.



In EUREKA i enjoyed three rides Ranger,Break Dance,and Twister all the three were breath taking .Due to lack of time we missed all the shows like Stunt show,Spirit of Ramoji,Dome theatre but hardly we saw the closing ceremony.By around 6.30 p.m we said good bye to Ramoji,"Worlds Largest Film City".
