Mumbai Tour

Mumbai, India’s “Maximum City” is the capital of Maharashtra and the financial powerhouse of India. Home to Bollywood, the Indian movie industry, Mumbai is the city of dreams for millions who throng this glamorous city from all across the country. A major sea port on the western coast, Mumbai was once a group of seven islands and was home to the Koli community of India.

The heart of the city contains some of the grandest colonial-era architectures and UNESCO-listed heritage sites but scratch at its surface and you will uncover quaint bazaars, beautiful temples, hipster retreats and India’s top restaurants and buzzing nightlife.

Major attractions in Mumbai

Gateway of India
This bold edifice, at the tip of Apollo Bunder was built in 1924 to commemorate the visit of King George & Queen Mary to India. Ironically this was also the harbor where the last of the British soldiers sailed back to their own country when India marched to freedom. Nowadays, the place has all the hubbub of a bazaar with balloon sellers, photographers, and other vendors pedaling their wares to locals & tourist alike.

Elephanta Caves
Take a short boat ride from the Gateway to the picturesque Elephanta Island that is home to the beautiful rock-cut temples. The caves, believed to be created somewhere between 450 AD and 750 AD, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dedicated to the many forms of Lord Shiva, the highlight of the complex is 6 meters-tall statue depicting a three-faced Shiva.

Juhu Beach
Juhu beach is synomous with Mumbai! A favorite with locals & travelers alike; the beach is a great place to watch sunset as you enjoy the street foods of Mumbai.

Marine Drive
Marine drive lives up to its nickname “Queen’s Necklace” as after dusk its twinkling streetlights make the road look like a string of pearls. A favorite place with joggers and courting couples, Marine Drive is a perfect spot to watch sunset.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya
Earlier known as the Prince of Wales Museum, this magnificent building is home to innumerable forms of art & artifacts from India, Tibet, Nepal and other far-eastern countries.
