Few sights in India compare with that of the sun lighting up the gorgeous Charminar.

The minarets slowly turn

to gold, while ancient streets surrounding the monument appear, for a few seconds, to belong to another age.
Hyderabad is full of fabulous structures, a place steeped in the culture of the Nizams who long ruled the city.
At the same time, it is sometimes referred to as the Land of Pearls. Others refer to it as Cyberabad, taking into
account its rise as India's IT Hub. It makes for a city of layers, where every street you walk through has
something unpredictable to offer. To understand what makes our city so special, we suggest you live among us
for a few years. For those who can't though, our tours should help.
