The lakes like Safilguda Nadimi cheruvu, Safilguda Banda cheruvu, Ramakrishnapuram Munkidigan cheruvu are famous which falls under Neredmet (Esterwile Village). And also lots of small ponds which are vanished now. It has well connections with Moula-Ali history. Though Malkajgiri is just 3 km away from Secunderabad, it was neglected in its development, which resulted in it not being up to the mark when compared with other Municipalities.
