About Hyderabad

Centrally located, Hyderabad is a city in the Northern path of South India. It lies in the sloping terrain of the Deccan Plateau giving the city a hilly topography. Hyderabad was established by the Qutub Shahi dynasty on the Southern banks of the Musi river and they have contributed much to the city’s landmarks like the Hussain Sagar lake and Golconda fort. The striking feature of any city is the flavour: mellifluous Telugu and poetic Urdu being the pinnacle of Dravidian and Islamic cultures are spoken here, making it the destination for the Discovery Path.
