A necklace road sunrise, lake and Buddha statue

Necklace Road at sunrise is Hyderabad’s most iconic ride: an empty lakefront boulevard, a rented bicycle, and the Buddha statue rising in silhouette over Hussain Sagar ⭐. It’s also one of the easiest ways to use a public space the city already invested in, instead of a closed loop at a gym 💚.

Where to find it

We chose this ride video because it shows the lakefront loop as riders actually experience it — the road, the views, the morning light.

Rentals run through the Hyderabad Bicycling Club, right near Sanjeevaiah Park — no advance booking needed. Rates and hours are set by local operators and can shift, so it’s worth confirming at the counter before you go.
