Hyderabad Hyderabad

The smoky blue hills of the Deccan Plateau meet lavender clouds as ecru domes curve against the twilight hue of a darkening sky. From the veranda of Charminar, Hyderabad’s most iconic landmark, the views are remarkable. Magnificent buildings anchor animated scenes of bustling marketplaces and busy streets swollen with rickshaw traffic. Lush greenery emerges among hillside neighborhoods, blanketing the banks of rivers and lakes. An exceptional city, rife with the legacy of a four-hundred-year past, Hyderabad is one of India’s most important economic centers. Renowned as the nation’s information technology capital, Hyderabad preserves the vivid traditions of an unparalleled heritage, while moving swiftly and gracefully into the future.
