We have already started Veer's passport application and look forward to sharing in the joy as he experiences new wonders of the world.

Spotlight and Featured Tour: Hyderabad

Located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, at the crossroads of North and South India, Hyderabad has developed a diverse culture that is reflected in its cuisine, language, architecture, and business enterprises. It also was ranked 19th on The New York Times list of 41 Places To Go In 2011. One of our Sodha Travelers, Anita, was raised in Hyderabad and wanted to share some of her favorite places in this City of Pearls:

"Hyderabad is referred to as a "Nawabi" or Princely City because of its history of being ruled by Nizams. True to that, it is one of the most laid back yet cosmopolitan cities in India. The city's rocky landscape is peppered with rich architecture and lush gardens. I lived in Hyderabad for 18 years and I believe it is one of the few cities in the country that has retained its laidback charm and vitality in the face of growth. A trip to Hyderabad is not complete without a visit to Charminar's Laad Bazaar for its dazzling array of bangles, delicious chicken biryani from Paradise, authentic Andhra food from Rayalseema Ruchulu, shopping in one of the world's hottest shopping destination – Banjara Hills, topped off with a fun night at Ten Downing Street!"
