The one good thing the monsoon brings to Hyderabad, apart from the scent of petrichor and a glass of hot Irani chai, is breathtaking skies. In this season, you get the chance to catch some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets. The skies become more dramatic, the light is softer, and the views from a high altitude are nothing short of breathtaking.
