The Tank Bund Road runs between Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The Tank Bund dams Hussian sagar Lake on the eastern side and connects the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

Gandipet Lake is situated about 20kms away from the Hyderabad City Centre. With a sprawl of 46kms it provides good entertainment by the way of boating. The waters of Gandipet are golden in the morning and evenings. There ia also a play of blue and black colors as the clouds come and go by. People spend the entire day here, playing games, being on the gaint wheel, eating fast foods or just sitting by the lake. Its good place to be in with the entire family.
Just about 20kms from Hyderabad, the Himayat Sagar lake lies parallel to its older, larger and more widely known sibling - Osman Sagar Lake - both of which are some of the must sees in the city. Himayat Sagar was built on the Esi tributary of Musi river by the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad predominantly to collect water during the Indian monsoons and store it to last through the otherwise dry and rainless year.
