A very pleasant place where you can go and have some peace through out your day. We happen to visit this place ok Sunday and it is a blessing for us on that day and we had a very good time. This place is located approximately 85-100kms away from Hyderabad city and you'll also enjoy the road trip via Narsapur where you can feed a lot of street monkeys. Parking both car and bike is available at free of cost in a big ground which will actually be easy for us to travel and park. Adjecent to the church or parallel to the parking ground there is a small exhibition and a food stalls where you can also have food items and chill-out. Coming to the church, this place is a very peaceful and holy place where your prayers are definitely fulfilled (if you have faith in GOD). The architecture of the church is just awesome and worth a watch as you'll no way beleive that the church is been build in the year 1924. Beware of your foot wear and vallets as there might be pick pocketers in the church premesis. Surrounding the church there are plenty of trees and beautiful garden /grass area where you with your family members can have lunch if you wish to as a sign of a picnic spot. Overall , you'll love this place both as a one day picnic spot and as a holy ancient place. Enjoy my some of the pictures.

We traveled to Medak to shoot a wedding on the evening of April 1, we decided that since we were going that far, we should start a bit early and visit this famous landmark which has been on our list for sometime now. The Medak Cathedral is the Largest of all churches in Telangana and was built in 1924. Medak is just about 80-90 Kms from Hyderabad. You can easily choose to go by either 2 wheeler or 4 wheeler based on your choice or budget. You may even choose the the State Transport buses, which ply almost 1 per every 30 minutes. The best part is the Medak Bus Depot is just 10 minutes distance by walk. Some Points For Travelers & Photographers 1) Church Timings are from 9am to 6pm. 2) You would need to leave your footwear at the entrance of the main building complex 3) Officially Photography is not allowed inside the Cathedral, but I think that is more of a guideline than a strict rule. 4) Try and avoid going on a Sunday, that way you will get the Church a little less busy an you and actually get time to look at the grandeur of the construction. 5) Like most places of worship no tripods are allowed. 6) A Wide angle lens would be very handy for the interiors photos. 7) You would need about an hour of so to cover this place.

Medak church is one of the most visited places in South India which was built by Charles walker Fasnet of British era which was consecrated on 25th December 1924. It is the single largest diocese in Asia and second largest in the world after the Vatican located in Medak. The location stands around 100km from Hyderbad and located in the middle of Medak just opposite to the Medak Bus Depo. Though temperature check wasn't done, sanitizer was being sprayed to every single person entering the church. The church has a history of century years old, the sculptures, walls and the stone designs look fresh and fabulous and the interior is also fully made with stones with some eye witnessing Designs on the stones. Probably, the maintenance was soo good, that it the whole area and the church looks very neat and clean. They also have the stay available to the public, depending on the type of stay people prefer. We got to know that charge for the ac rooms was 2500 per day. For more details and posts, please visit : LETSTRAVELHYDERABAD on Instagram.

Superb church. You will love the architecture of it. Very simple and attractive design . It's one of the biggest churches of South East Asia. It can accommodate 5000 people at a time. It's in 2 floors. We can sit in the groud floor and also in first floor . We have four stair cases on four corners on the building to reach first floor. It's constructed with stone and their pattern and looks are superb. Inside dome and it's pattern is really awesome. Love to watch it. Inside the church you have an eagle carved out from wood , it's superb , we feel that the eagle is looking in to our eyes. God Jesus history paintings on mirror are superb . We find many people coming from different parts of the state to offer prayers. Out side Landscaping is good , cool you can rest there. Lot of monkeys are found around the church. Chappal stand is provided on sides, staff at stand receiving is good .Board at stand says it's free , but they demand some money at the time of delivery.

The Cathedral is one of beautiful piece of architecture and it is the 2nd largest church in Asia. I gave the rating keeping in mind of the place. Don't perceive it as overall experience rating. However, please feel free to visit this place if you have no issue with Covid-19 and brave & adventurous. Atleast 400 people were there at the church when I reached there on a weekend and almost 95% people were without masks. There were no Church authorities or security guards or policemen to manage the crowd or stopping people going inside the premises without masks. There were 2 disinfection tunnels installed but none of them were working and there is only one security guard who was stopping people to go inside with lunch/food. There is another policemen inside the church who was stopping people to stop taking photos. But there was no one who was managing the crowd or restricting visitors without mask and no social distancing was maintained.
