I agree, and I felt the same too. However, I was trying to kill two birds with one stone. I will be on an official visit, but can extend the visit for an extra one day to get my medicals done. And, this is in the spirit of our planned party at Yukon in March/April 2018, hence landing before the event.
I am visiting for work, but can spare an extra day for the medicals. Hey, can you suggest some good Hyderabadi Joints, as I'm interested in Mughlai Dishes including Mutton Biryani.
For food options there are too many places to list. Try Four Seasons restaurant @ Toli Chowki. Or Spice 6 in Banjara Hills road 1. Or you can join FB page - Foodies in Hyderabad - Reloaded. That will give you a lot of options.
Good luck and have fun.
Thanks for the information, and the directions. I booked appointment online at CMM, and they responded with a detailed email and allotted 30th June for my medicals. As you stated, they require a copy of my ITA. I am sure they will waive that off, if I mention that I intend to do upfront medicals.
Any idea what the cost would be?
