Weekend running, cycling and drive escapes around 100 km out

---

 A weekend long drive through forested trails leads you to a small fort perched on a low hill. You can try this spot for a short elevated run or a trail run while exploring the area. The place is a bit abandoned, so stay cautious and aware of your surroundings. But the reward is worth it—you get to witness an old, historic Zamindar fort. 

 It’s a mix of trek, trail, historic exploration, elevation, and hill running. You’ll climb steep steps and walk through sections of the fort, with a good trail inside that’s worth exploring. Hike all the way to the top for a panoramic fort‑top view of the city. You can easily spend half a day here. It’s a 100 km drive from Hyderabad, passing through stretches of small forested areas. 

Located near Medak, this spot gives you the thrill of watching a massive, deep water reservoir from just a few inches away—almost millimetre-close if you don’t fear water and have the guts to stand near the edge. There’s also a small hill nearby where you can start your run and finish with stunning, dramatic views of the reservoir.

You can plan a short run here, but be extremely careful around the water body. You can also view the dam from the lower side and from the opposite end of the water, offering a completely different perspective.

Manjeera Dam, located near Sangareddy, is a great spot for a medium‑distance run across small water creeks and forest‑like trails filled with bird chirping. You’ll find a good number of birds here, and it’s common to see photographers capturing them. You can run under the shade of trees and along the creeks, making it a refreshing and peaceful route.

EIt’s a stunning and expansive reservoir with a well‑constructed dam road where you can run almost in a circular loop. It’s a great spot for a weekend long run, but be prepared for strong winds depending on the season and weather. On the other side of the dam, you can enjoy views of fields and gardens. If you visit on a weekend and arrive late, you may find more visitors around.

Rachakonda Road, the route leading to Rachakonda Fort, is a great option for a weekend long run. It’s about 30 km from the city, so you’ll need to drive, park, and then start your run. The stretch is beautiful, quiet, and surrounded by nature—perfect for a picturesque experience.

Plan this route during the monsoon. The entire area turns green, the weather stays cool, and the light drizzle makes the run even more refreshing. It’s also an excellent route for cycling.

There are no shops or facilities nearby, so make sure you carry your own water, food, and essentials.

Harihar Fort is an adventurous mountaineering and hiking spot. You need to climb about 120 rock-cut steps that rise at nearly an 80‑degree angle. You shouldn’t attempt this trek if you have acrophobia. You also need to be physically strong enough to climb those steep steps. It’s a slightly risky hike.
