Between Mumbai's coastal skyline and Hyderabad's biryani-scented streets lies the Deccan Plateau. Mumbai is India's fast-paced financial centre; Hyderabad blends high-tech modernity with Nizami elegance. You can cross in a short flight or in a night train that shows you Maharashtra and Telangana changing outside your window.
