Banjara hills is an urban commercial center of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. This is an upmarket locality and is close to Jubilee Hills.
This area was a hilly forest area and was least inhabited in the past. Only few royal members of the Nizam's dynasty used to live here, and was also a hunting ground for the Nizams. Due to its history and status this area now has completely transformed to an urban commercial centre of importance. Banjara Hills is segregated by its road no's, each road having its own importance.
