Vikarabad, nestled in the scenic Ananthagiri Hills, has a history that transitions from ancient spiritual retreats to a royal summer resort for the Nizams. Its elevated landscape and dense forests have made it a significant location for both health and heritage for centuries.
​The town is named after Nawab Sir Viqar-ul-Umra, the Prime Minister of Hyderabad State and a member of the noble Paigah family, who founded the modern township in the late 19th century.
