Twin City of Hyderabad
Secunderabad is known as the "Twin city of Hyderabad" and is the headquarters of the South Cebtral Railway zone. After defeating the Asaf Jahi dynasty, the English founded the city as a cantonment in 1806 on the northern portion of the Deccan Plateau. Secunderabad, which was ruled by the British until 1948, has a more English feel to it than Hyderabad, which still exhibits the cultural and architectural characteristics of the Nizam's rule.

Despite being separated from Hyderabad by the Hussain Sagar lake, Secunderabad is still a part of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). One of India's biggest military installations, Secunderabad has a sizable army and air force presence. In addition to the local population, the city is home to several other communities, including a sizable Parsi and Anglo-Indian population.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
