Next in our Hyderabad city tour, we will visit the Charminar, a famous mosque cum moment, and a symbol that most people associate Hyderabad with. Further, we will drive to the Chowmallah Palace which will help you dive better into the grandeur style of living of the Nizams.

For those of you who love to shop and collect souvenirs, be delighted as the bustling Laad Bazaar market is next in our 1 day Hyderabad city tour. From bangles to antique items, we can find various interesting artefacts here.

Then we will head to one of the largest art museums of the world, the Salar Jung Museum which displays artwork from all across the globe. As the harsh sun starts to mellow down, we will hike our way to the top of the Golconda Fort which dominates the skyline of Hyderabad.

After a rather busy sightseeing day, we will then relax at the heart-shaped Hussain Sagar Lake. This will bring our one day trip to an end and the cab will drop you to your place of origin.

Apart from the presiding deity, one can also find various shrines dedicated to other Hindu Gods and Goddesses such as Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma, Goddess Parvathi, Goddess, Saraswati, Goddess Lakshmi, etc.

The interesting part about the temple is that its construction uses features from multiple styles of architecture including the South Indian Dravidian style, North India’s Rajasthani style and Utkala style. Its completion roughly took about 10 years until it opened to the public in 1976.

A day trip to Hyderabad is incomplete without adding a visit to the magnanimous Golconda Fort to your list of must-see sightseeing places in Hyderabad . Built by the Qutb Shahi dynasty in the 1600s, this fort is the city’s pride, and rightfully so.

The fort is spread over a distance of 10 km and is segmented into four forts. The fort comprised of various rooms, hallways, courtyards, temples, mosques, drawbridges, stables etc. An evening hike when the sun isn’t harsh will be a perfect time to explore it.

Hyderabad car rental information

Cheap car rentals in hyderabad, kayak’s top tips for renting a car in hyderabad.

• Hyderabad car rentals offer you the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at your own convenience. With a rental car, you can easily visit popular attractions like Charminar, Golconda Fort, Hussain Sagar Lake, and Ramoji Film City at your own pace. Having a car allows you to optimize your time by efficiently visiting multiple destinations in a shorter period, without being tied to the schedules of public transportation. Additionally, renting a car gives you the flexibility to explore lesser-known sites and hidden gems that may not be easily accessible by other means. By renting a car, you can have a more personalized and immersive experience of Hyderabad, while also avoiding the higher costs associated with rideshare services or taxis.
• Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) is a convenient location for picking up car rentals in Hyderabad. With a selection of reputable rental companies to choose from, you have a range of familiar options to meet your needs. The airport provides dedicated service desks for these companies located near the baggage claim area. Once you have completed the necessary paperwork, you can find the rental cars conveniently parked just outside the terminal in the designated parking lots. This streamlined process ensures easy access to your rental car as soon as you arrive at the airport.
• Plan your route in advance and use reliable navigation tools or apps to navigate through the city. Hyderabad can have congested roads, so it's helpful to be aware of alternate routes to avoid heavy traffic. Patience is key when driving in Hyderabad, particularly during heavy traffic. Maintain a calm and patient attitude, and avoid aggressive driving behaviors. Honking is common in Hyderabad, but try to use the horn sparingly and only when necessary. Hyderabad has a significant number of two-wheelers on the roads. Be cautious and keep an eye out for motorcycles and bicycles, as they may navigate through traffic differently.

Why hire a car in hyderabad with a driver.

Hyderabad, the city of pearls, embodies a captivating blend of history and modernity. From its ancient Charminar to its towering skyscrapers, Hyderabad narrates a tale of cultural richness and rapid urbanization. However, the city's growth has led to infrastructural challenges, including congested roads and limited public transport. Navigating through Hyderabad's bustling streets can be daunting, given the unpredictable traffic and road conditions. To combat these issues, renting a car with a driver emerges as a practical solution. Experienced drivers not only navigate the city's maze but also serve as local guides, providing insights into the city's hidden gems. On the contrary, hiring a self-drive car can be overwhelming, especially for tourists unfamiliar with the city's intricate routes. Opting for a chauffeur-driven car offers a stress-free and convenient way to explore Hyderabad's wonders, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

COSTA RICA'S LEADING ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER

Power Outages Scheduled by ICE Across Costa Rica

President chaves’ legislative address: a tale of two costa ricas, costa rica may gardening: tips and tricks for a bountiful harvest, costa rica drops in world press freedom index 2024, new san josé mayor aims to reclaim public spaces, turrialba volcano cable car project could transform costa rica tourism.

Imagine being able to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Turrialba Volcano from above in a cable car. This may soon become a reality, thanks to a pioneering proposal set forth by Congress representatives Rosaura Méndez (PLN), Alejandro Pacheco (PUSC), and Pilar Cisneros, representing the ruling party.

The proposed installation of a cable car system is part of the “Nuevo Territorio Turrialba y Jiménez” project, which aims to catalyze social inclusion and economic revitalization in the region. At the heart of this endeavor lies a commitment to bolstering the local economy and creating fresh employment opportunities for the community.

Following an extensive evaluation process, conducted last April by two Swiss engineers, the feasibility of the project was confirmed. The cable car line would stretch approximately 2.5 kilometers, providing direct access to the Turrialba Volcano.

With four towers equipped with cabins capable of accommodating between 12 to 20 individuals each, the infrastructure promises to accommodate a diverse range of visitors, including those with mobility limitations.

In a statement released by the PLN deputy, it was underscored that the proposed cable car system would not only enhance accessibility to the volcano but also ensure safer and more inclusive access, meaning it would allow a broader spectrum of individuals to visit, boosting tourism.

Legislative representatives have actively engaged in dialogues with local stakeholders, including farm owners and residents, to ascertain the optimal strategies for the installation of the cable car system.

Álvaro Ramírez, technical advisor of Nuevo Territorio Turrialba y Jiménez, emphasized the significance of realizing this transformative project.

“If we manage to redirect part of that visitation to Turrialba, with the improvements we have planned in Guayabo, we could establish a tourist circuit that would encourage people to spend the night in Turrialba,” he said.

At the moment, it is not known how the initiative will be financed. However, the proponents point out that it has been endoresed by several sectors, so they hope that a consensus on the funds for its construction can be reached soon.

Encampment in Harvard Yard

Dear Members of the Harvard Community,   Over the last 12 days, the encampment in Harvard Yard has disrupted our educational activities and operations. The right to free speech, including protest and dissent, is vital to the work of the research university.  But it is not unlimited . It must be exercised in a time, place, and manner that respects the right of our community members to do their work, pursue their education, and enjoy the opportunities that a residential campus has to offer. The encampment favors the voices of a few over the rights of many who have experienced disruption in how they learn and work at a critical time of the semester. I call on those participating in the encampment to end the occupation of Harvard Yard.   The disruptions from this encampment at the heart of the University have been numerous. Harvard College exams and other important activities and events have had to move elsewhere. Safety concerns over the past two weeks, including those raised as a result of students sleeping outdoors overnight, have required us to sharply limit access to Harvard Yard. Although some community members have said they are undisturbed by these conditions, we continue to hear reports of students whose ability to sleep, study, and move freely about the campus has been disrupted by the actions of the protesters. We are especially troubled by increasing reports that some within, and some supporting, the encampment have intimidated and harassed other members of our community. When Harvard staff have requested to see IDs in order to enforce our policies, supporters of the encampment have at times yelled at them, tried to encircle them, and otherwise interfered with their work. We have also received reports that passers-by have been confronted, surveilled, and followed. Such actions are indefensible and unacceptable.   As first-year students move out and as we begin our extensive preparations for Commencement, this ongoing violation of our policies becomes more consequential. Thousands of family members, friends, and loved ones will soon join us to celebrate the achievements of graduate and undergraduate students who have earned the right to walk in Commencement. This celebration is the culmination of years of hard work and accomplishment. The members of the Class of 2024 deserve to enjoy this milestone uninterrupted and unimpeded. It would be especially painful if students who graduated from high school or college during the pandemic were denied a full graduation ceremony for a second time.   The individuals participating in the activities of the encampment have been informed repeatedly that violations of University and School policies will be subject to disciplinary consequences and that further violations and continued escalation will result in increasingly severe sanctions. Last week, faculties across the University began delivering disciplinary notices to students who continued to participate in unauthorized, disruptive activity in the Yard despite these notices.   I write today with this simple message:  The continuation of the encampment presents a significant risk to the educational environment of the University. Those who participate in or perpetuate its continuation will be referred for involuntary leave from their Schools.  Among other implications, students placed on involuntary leave may not be able to sit for exams, may not continue to reside in Harvard housing, and must cease to be present on campus until reinstated.   Enforcement of these policies, which are essential to our educational mission, is an obligation we owe to our students and the Harvard community more broadly. It is not, as some have suggested, a rejection of discussion and debate about the urgent issues that concern the University, the nation, and the world. As an academic institution, we do not shy away from hard and important questions. There are many ways for our community to engage constructively in reasoned discussion of complex issues, but initiating these difficult and crucial conversations does not require, or justify, interfering with the educational environment and Harvard’s academic mission. Our disagreements are most effectively addressed through candid, constructive dialogue, building not on disruption, but on facts and reason.     Sincerely, Alan M. Garber

Xi Jinping arrives in France with Ukraine and EU trade row at top of agenda

On his first visit to Europe since 2019, Xi is set to meet with Emmanuel Macron before heading to Serbia and Hungary

Xi Jinping has lauded China’s ties with France as a model for the international community as he arrived in Paris amid threats of a trade war over Chinese electric cars and French cognac.

On his first visit to the EU in five years, China’s president will meet his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen , who will urge him to reduce trade imbalances and use his influence with Russia over the war in Ukraine.

Ahead of the visit, Macron told the French newspaper La Tribune that an update of relations was necessary “because China now has excess capacity in many areas and exports massively to Europe”.

In September 2023 the EU launched an investigation into whether to impose punitive tariffs to protect EU producers against cheaper Chinese electric vehicle (EV) imports that it says are benefiting from state subsidies.

On Sunday night, Von der Leyen signalled the EU’s continued discontent with China , which she said was “currently manufacturing with massive subsidies”. An oversupply of cars and steel due to weak demand at home was leading to unfair trade and unacceptable market distorting practices, said Von der Leyen, that “could lead to deindustrialiasion in Europe” and loss of jobs, particularly in the German car industry.

Macron will try to talk Xi out of retaliating over the EV investigation, potentially with import duties on French cognac and agricultural goods.

The EU is also expected to raise suspicions that sanctions on exports to Russia are being circumvented by Chinese companies trading with its neighbour. They believe multinationals based in Asia are selling legitimately into Hong Kong and mainland China but the destination of the goods is Russia.

Xi, who was welcomed in Paris by the French prime minister, Gabriel Attal, said in a statement released on his arrival that ties between China and France were “a model for the international community of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation between countries with different social systems”.

In a separate op-ed published in the French daily Le Figaro, the Chinese president said he was coming to France with three messages: that Beijing was committed to opening up “new vistas” in its relationship with France, opening up “ever wider” to the world, and to upholding world peace and stability.

“While opening up itself, China also encourages Chinese companies to go global,” Xi wrote. “France is advancing reindustrialisation based on green innovation, whereas China is accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.”

On the war in Ukraine , he wrote that China “understands the repercussions of the Ukraine crisis on the people of Europe”. He emphasised that Beijing was not “a party to or a participant in it”, adding that “China has been playing a constructive role in striving for peaceful settlement of the crisis”.

Xi’s six-day visit to Europe is the first since 2019 and will also see him visit Serbia and Hungary . The latter is hoping to become the European hub of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturing after BYD in 2023 sealed a deal for its first EV factory in Europe.

One of Macron’s key priorities will be to warn Xi of the danger of backing Russia in its invasion of Ukraine , with western officials concerned Moscow is already using Chinese machine tools in arms production.

The west wants China above all not to supply weapons to Russia and risk tipping the balance in the conflict.

“It is in our interest to get China to weigh in on the stability of the international order,” said Macron in an interview with the Economist published on Thursday.

“We must, therefore, work with China to build peace.”

China opened an anti-dumping investigation into brandy imported from the European Union in January, sparking fears cognac could suffer a similar blow to that taken by Australian wine when China introduced tariffs of more than 200%.

“We want to obtain reciprocity of exchanges and have the elements of our economic security taken into account,” Macron told La Tribune.

Von der Leyen said on Monday: “We have to act to make sure that competition is fair and not distorted. I have made clear that the current imbalances in market access are not sustainable and need to be addressed”.

The European Commission, the European Union’s authority on trade issues, has opened more than 20 competition probes targeting China in recent months including into the supply of cars, wind turbines and medical devices.

Beijing has reacted furiously to the most recent investigation, into suspected inequitable access to China’s medical devices market, calling it a sign of EU “protectionism”.

The EU’s 27 members – in particular France and Germany – are divided on their attitude towards China.

The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, will not join Macron and Xi in Paris due to prior commitments, according to sources.

“In Europe, we are not unanimous on the subject because certain players still see China as essentially a market of opportunities,” Macron said, without naming any countries.

France will also seek to make progress on opening the Chinese market to its agricultural exports and resolve issues around the French cosmetic industry’s concerns about intellectual property rights, officials have said.

China may announce an order for about 50 Airbus aircraft during Xi’s visit, but it remains uncertain whether it will be a new deal, people familiar with the negotiations have said.

On Tuesday, Macron will take Xi to the Pyrenees, a mountainous region dear to the French president as the birthplace of his maternal grandmother, before Xi heads to Serbia and Hungary .
