Cross Cultural Influences

Hyderabad engulfs you in a traditional warmth. Be it the yummy lipsmacking food, the old buildings including the Charminar, the city weaves a magic spell. A truly magnificent city in every way epitomizes true old world charm, yet progressing by leaps and bounds. The city has a history of over 400 years. It is the fifth largest metropolitan city in the Indian Subcontinent. The enchanting city has been shaped beautifully by a multitude of cross cultural influences. Every corner in Hyderabad can boast of a duality that is harmonious? the confluence of the Hindu and Muslim communities. With its pleasant climate, wonderful shopping areas, magnificent and much talked about cuisine and the amalgam of diverse cultures every street, every monument; every tree must have a wonderful story to narrate. Also called the City Of Pearls, the streets of Hyderabad once saw these precious items being sold on the street like the peanuts being sold these days. The capital city of Andhra Pradesh is one of the most techno savvy cities in India, second perhaps only to Bangalore. It soon might be India's second Silicon Valley. The future, for the city of destiny, looks promising.

At a Glance
Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, is situated on the southern bank of River Musi.
When to Visit:
Hyderabad is fairly warm throughout the year and does not receive much rainfall. March to May the city burns like a furnace, the temperature shooting to as high as 42C. Winters, beginning October are cool; light woolens are all you will need, if at all. So the best time to visit Hyderabad is between October and February.
Orientation & Getting Around:
There are coaches, tourist taxis, metered taxis, auto-rickshaws and city bus services available. Do bargain for a good fare and do not give in to the price quoted by auto and taxi drivers. You can hire tourist cabs from the state tourist office, your hotel or private tour operators. The more adventurous can climb into a cycle rickshaw and hang on to dear life as the rickshaw wallah weaves his daily bread through the narrow maze of Hyderabad?s streets.
