Geography & terrain
Shamirpet lies in the Medchal district of Telangana, 35 km from Hyderabad and 10 km from Ghatkesar — the lake town of the region, its 1930s-era lake, the deer park and the weekend decks set on the Hyderabad's north edge.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the 1930s lake era — the lake town of the 1930s-era reservoir and the 1990s-era park life, with the town's modern role as the weekend stop of the Hyderabad circuit and the home of the 1930s-era lake and the deer park and the 1990s-era boating; the town's history of the 2000s-era walks and the bird corners, gives Shamirpet its lake character.
