Unique Trees Hyderabad – a hidden gem discovered!

Ever since I’ve moved to Hyderabad, the one thing that I’ve been complaining about is that there aren’t many getaway places from Hyderabad that are like a one-day trip. Cities like Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi have a lot of places within a 2-3 hour drive from there. From Mahabaleshwar to Lonavala in the west to Jaipur and Agra in the north. Ananthagiri is one place that’s close to Hyderabad and makes a good road trip from Hyderabad. Even a road trip from Hyderabad to Bidar is good. But how many times can one go there?

So a few days ago, my friends invited me to visit Unique Trees in Hyderabad. I’m sure not many people are aware of this place but I’m hopeful that after reading this blog post, you’d sure want to plan a visit soon. Here’s all you to need to know about us discovering a hidden gem in Unique Trees Hyderabad.

You’ll get a brochure that explains all the plant varieties that are present at Unique Trees Hyderabad. The brochure is pretty good in terms of explaining the species, their requirements, etc.

However, the Unique Trees Hyderabad entry fees will be refunded if you buy a plant/tree from the nursery. Also, after paying the fee, you are entitled to multiple visits for the next 30 days. While it sounds good, we’ll have to try to verify the same. Also, the minimum cost of a plant there that we enquired about was Rs 40,000.

What to expect at Unique Trees Hyderabad

As said, it’s a huge nursery, you need at least 2-3 hours on hand to explore the complete park. If you have a car it’s much easier, else, walking in the premises can take a lot of time.

They have a huge variety of palms and ferns too.

For instance, we saw a black neem tree, a tree that shed all the leaves when it flowers, etc. The highlight of Unique Trees Hyderabad however is the 1400-year-old tree that’s right at the entrance. It has been bought in from Italy and is the highlight of the place.

Further, since it’s a huge place, I suggest reaching the place by 2-3 PM and exploring the place till the closing time. Also, with so many plants around, it seems a place to visit during monsoons because of the greenery you can expect. Apart from the trees themselves, Unique Trees Hyderabad has got absolutely nothing. You don’t have a restroom, a place to eat or drink, etc. So make sure you are prepared before you go there.

Upcoming Unique Trees Park in Hyderabad

While the original Unique Trees park was good, there’s an upcoming park right opposite the property. It’s even grander and promises to be a wonderful destination once it’s ready. While it’s still under construction, we were allowed a sneak peek inside the new park. As per what was told to me, there are going to be Japanese, Italian, and other types of parks inside.

They have some large, interesting art installations which are simply amazing. There weren’t many plants as yet, but based on what I saw, I’m sure whenever the new Unique Trees park comes up, it will be an amazing destination for sure. It would be grave to compare this to Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, but it sure seems like they want to get something like that for Hyderabadis. The photos that you see here are some of the exclusive Unique Trees parks photos on the internet!

Unique Trees Hyderabad Worth a Visit?

If you are looking for a one day trip from Hyderabad, Unique Trees Hyderabad makes for a good destination. Might not a great place to visit during summers, but winter and rainy season I’m sure you’ll have a good time. Also, there weren’t many flowering plants when we went.

For the price, it does seem priced high for the amenities you get. The existing Unique Trees Park does have exotic trees but lacks back amenities like restrooms, cafeterias, etc. Having these would make it a good destination. But again, the upcoming park does have these setups and I’m sure that will be a good place in the times to come.
