All You Need To Know About Under the Moon Hyderabad

Under the Moon Hyderabad — a calm lake escape near HiTech City. Know the distance, location, how to reach, things to do, and where to slow down.

How we planned to visit Under the Moon Lake Hyderabad

I’ll be honest — We didn’t plan this trip. One Saturday, somewhere between caffeine and chaos, I decided I needed quiet. A friend texted, “Try Under the Moon Hyderabad. It’s peaceful and no one knows about it yet.”

Ten minutes later we were on Maps. The photos looked unreal a silvery lake, soft lights, tall trees over water. Not a crowd in sight. By evening, I told my husband lets go.

Where exactly it is

The Under the Moon Lake Hyderabad location sits on the far edge of the city, tucked between small farms and open land. You won’t see big boards or milestone for this. Its just a stretch of quiet road and then, suddenly, water.

It’s not fancy, and that’s the beauty of it. Birds, breeze, ripples that’s all you get, and somehow it’s enough.

Distance from HiTech City Hyderabad

From HiTech City, it’s roughly 78 kilometres. We left around 4:30 p.m., hit the Outer Ring Road, and reached in a bit over two hours (blame a tea stop and a goat traffic-jam).

The first hour is smooth highway, the second one is the countryside kind of pretty uneven roads. The last few kilometres go narrow, but don’t panic; the lake shows up when you least expect it, glowing in the dusk.

Routes that actually work

Fast route: HiTech City → ORR Exit 12 → regional highway → village road. Good tarmac, fewer surprises.
Scenic route: Gachibowli → Chevella → rural belt. Slower, greener, way more photogenic.

I went scenic one way, fast the other. The balance felt perfect — a bit of adventure, a bit of comfort.

How to reach

By Train

Nearest major stop is Hyderabad Deccan (Nampally). From the station, a cab takes around two hours.

By Road

Hop on a TSRTC bus toward Chevella or nearby towns. From there, grab an auto. It’s cheap and fun if you’re not in a hurry. By car easiest. Google Maps works till the last few minutes; download offline just in case. Roll down the windows the smell of fields beats any air freshener.

By Flight

If you’re flying into the city, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is 65–70 km away. Book a cab and you’re there in under two hours.

What to actually do there

The first few minutes, do nothing. Just stand. The air feels different damp, cool, kind of earthy. You’ll hear crickets, maybe see the first star. That’s when the place starts working its quiet magic.

Watch the sunset – The sky bleeds orange into purple, and the lake turns mirror-silver. It’s one of those views that make you forget to take photos.

Walk by the shore – No loudspeakers, no ticket stalls. Just a path, a few benches, and maybe an old fisherman fixing his net. If peace had a sound, this would be it.

Bonfire chats – Some stays nearby light small bonfires. We ended up singing off-key 90s songs and roasting corn someone had brought. Zero luxury, 100 percent warmth.

Furthermore, the best thing you can do is “Nothing”, just sit on one of the boulders and dip your feet under the water and think of the best moments of your life.

Best time to visit

Honestly, there’s no bad time to visit Under the Moon Hyderabad. Every season paints the lake a little differently.

If you go in winter, the air turns cool and crisp perfect for long walks and lazy bonfire nights. During the rainy season, everything looks greener, fresher, and the earthy smell after a drizzle feels like nature’s own perfume.

Even if you can’t plan a full weekend, just one evening here is totally worth the drive. Sit by the lake, watch the sky change colors, and you’ll see why this spot feels special no matter when you visit.
