Hyderabad, the capital of the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, is located on the Deccan Plateau on the banks of the Musi River. The wide roads and public parks in the garrison town of Secunderabad, the leisurely place of Hyderabadi people who still have the time and the gentility to offer adaab and to cook up a slow simmering storm in flavourful cauldrons do this special city real proud.
The ‘twin cities’ of Hyderabad and Secunderabad are one of the major centres of Information Technology development, so much so that Microsoft has one of its two overseas offices here. A delightfully elegant disposition, a miracle of technological revolution or a city with quite some tradition - Hyderabad is really all of these and more. Soaring above the Deccan Plateau, at an altitude of 1776 feet above sea level is Hyderabad. Famed for its natural beauty, mosques, minarets, bazaars, lakes, pearls and kacchi biryani, Hyderabad is fast emerging as India's foremost Cybercity, with cyber cafes and software companies coming up in every nook and corner of the city. A classic example of a city that has evolved from being 'historical', Hyderabad is also an accomplished film capital. The Ramoji Film City is one of the most advanced and largest studios in the world. It is also a popular honeymoon destination with film lovers!
