THE RETREAT TO TAJ FALAKNUMA

The most awaited Annual Retreat of The Ludhiana Chapter was at Taj FALAKNUMA, Hyderabad . 30 members visited this heritage luxury abode of the erstwhile Nizam. Living the Nizami Luxury life was the highlight of the retreat.
Bonding between the members, sightseeing throughout the city, exploring and experiencing the rich cultural heritage of the palace and the city left our members awestruck.

The highlight was visiting Vinita Pitties Heritage Haveli Residence and interacting with her.
The Chitkur Balaji Temple visit and the Charminar area allowed us to soak into the essence of Hyderabad.
Hyderabad Chairperson Ms Sona Chatwani hosted a sumptuous, authentic Andhra lunch for our members, which was well attended by many Hyderabad chapter Members.

This interaction and inter-chapter bonding was very invaluable and we thank Chairperson Ms Sona Chatwani for her time and hospitality. We thank Past chairs MS Rekha Lahoti and Ms Priyanka Ganeriwal Arora for all their guidance and inputs for our retreat.
Hyderabad, you were Awesome !! Thank You!
