Hello @minhaj18   and warm Welcome to Local Guides Connect.

A home for all local Guides.

For your idea about connecting with Local Guides Community in Hyderabad, I would love to guide you.

For the first step, You may search the community for mentions of the Local Guides Community in

<your City or Country name> by "Search" option on Local Guides Connect.

And secondly, as you mentioned, to connect with local guides, You can check this Meet-up Section  for searching meet-ups.

As most of us focusing on Virtual meet-ups, you can see many Meet-ups in which you can participate virtually or online. To getting additional information this article  A new way to support your meet-ups, will be surely helpful for you 

Here I want to tag my friend and the Guiding Star from Hyderabad @FazeelUsmani , he hosted many Meet-ups in Hyderabad , and I hope soon he is going to announce his next Meet-up, so stay connected.

Further Maybe you'll like to check out our tutorial here:About this forum. You may also want to read two interesting articles: Your guide to Connect and 14 helpful tips for using Connect.

Hi @minhaj18 

Welcome to Connect 🙏

Further to the fabulous tips provided by @KashifMisidia, here are a few steps and easy ways to connect with local guides in the shortest possible time. 

1. Favorite Locations

To easily connect with Local Guides in your local area, you may want to try the Favorite Locations feature. 

Go to your settings page and add up to 3 locations after which posts created by local guides from those cities will be listed on the main page.

 Tip: If you are traveling to a new place temporarily, you can remove and add the new one. Changes reflect immediately. Following that you can connect with local guides from the new place.

2. Browse Older Posts 

Browse through older posts of local guides from a place and check if they are still active and would be interested in a meetup. Chances are enthusiastic local guides did not find enough people to connect some time back and respond to your comments.

3. Private Messages

Send a private message to local guides using the feature here on Connect.

4 . Upcoming Meet-ups

A meet-up is meant to explore new places and make friends with local guides in your community. Check for upcoming meetups in the Meet-ups section.

By clicking the Show All button circled (2) in the image below you can also search for meetups by location. 

5. Previous Meet-ups

Leave a reply on past meetups.

Search The LG Connect community for the word recap that is used by most local guides in their post-meetup reports. You can then search through past meetups telling the local guides that you missed it and leave a request to notify you when the next meetup is hosted.

6. Conduct a meet-up

Use the Submit meet-up button circled (1) in the image above to host a meetup. This would be a great way to reach out to the local guide community in that place proactively.

7. Do not hesitate

Go ahead and post a message seeking local guides in a city like this person from Bangalore did and got a good response.

Make sure you add a location to the post as shown in the image below.

Hope you find these useful.
