Description

Begin at the Gateway of India, an Indo-Saracenic masterpiece built for King George V’s 1911 visit. Hear stories of the last British troops leaving India in 1948. Nearby, admire the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, a symbol of resilience after the 2008 attacks. Walk through Colaba’s lively streets, filled with colonial charm, chic cafés, and galleries. Pass by the historic Regal Cinema and the Kala Ghoda Art District, Mumbai’s cultural hub. Visit the Dhobi Ghat, where over 5,000 washermen scrub clothes in a 140-year-old open-air laundry still used today and often featured in Bollywood films. Drive along the scenic Marine Drive, also called the Queen’s Necklace. Pause at Chowpatty Beach for sunset views and street food like pav bhaji. Nearby, explore the Walkeshwar Temple complex overlooking the sea. Enjoy authentic Mumbai dining—try Parsi berry pulao at Britannia & Co. or butter garlic crab at Trishna. Take a ferry to Elephanta Caves (UNESCO) to admire 5th-century rock-cut temples and the iconic Trimurti sculpture. See the grand Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (UNESCO) and the University of Mumbai, examples of Gothic revival fused with Indian design.
