Hyderabad is the capital of southern India's Telangana state. A major centre for the technology industry, it's home to many upmarket restaurants and shops. The Old City of Hyderabad is steeped in history and echoes of a more regal era. It was once the capital city of the Nizam, the ruler of the richest princely state, and the twin city of Secunderabad. Here, the British established a military base to be close to the Nizam. It is worth taking time out to see this area.

Medical services in Hyderabad are good and there’s a choice of good hospitals and clinics. The city is fairly safe and there’s also a good choice of banks, travel agents, currency exchange places, hospitals, pharmacies and some excellent restaurants.
