The White Mughal tour in Hyderabad about Romance & Betrayal

In 1797 a British colonel arrived in Hyderabad to subjugate the kingdom for the East India Company. Three years later he had married a Hyderabadi noblewoman, converted to Islam, adopted Mughal dress and customs, and secretly switched his loyalty to the Nizams. He had become a double agent against his own empire. This half day White Mughals tour Hyderabad takes you to the places where this extraordinary true story unfolded. The magnificent British Residency he built as a statement of imperial power. The replica mansion he constructed so his purdah observing wife could see his home without leaving her quarters. The Rang Mahal palace where their daughter was born. The historic gates, the British cemetery and the stepwell that formed the world the two of them shared. William Dalrymple wrote the book. We take you to the locations. Private car, expert guide and all entry fees included.
