Itinerary

Day 1

City of dreams

Arrive Mumbai. If arriving to Mumbai from a domestic flight you will arrive to Terminal 2. There are arrival gates A, B and C. Please exit via Gate B and turn right. Our representative will be waiting here on the right for you. From this meeting point you should also be able to see a Starbucks Coffee Shop to the east. We then transfer to your hotel and the remainder of the day is at leisure.

Mumbai - or Bombay, as it was formerly known, remains India’s city of dreams. Despite extreme poverty and eye-watering pollution, it is so dynamic that paupers still flock there in the hope of becoming successful entrepreneurs. Built largely by the British around one of the best-protected natural harbours in the world, Mumbai is India’s strategic economic centre. The city is also is home to the country’s prolific Bollywood film industry, which cranks out more feature films than any place in the world and of course the setting for the hit film ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’.

The main draw of Mumbai, like much of India, remains its contradictions. Within minutes (or a few miles) you can be awestruck by the palatial houses on Malabar Hill and then depressed by the makeshift shacks and the children in the city’s poverty-stricken neighbourhoods.
Overnight: Mumbai

Day 2

Elephanta Caves & city tour

Enjoy a cruise to the Elephanta Caves this morning. The island of Elephanta is about 10 kms from Mumbai. The 4 rock-cut temples are believed to have been cut between 450-750AD. After an hour’s boat trip to the island, walk the steps up the hillside to the caves, Shiva is the most depicted form.

This afternoons city tour leads us to the Gateway of India – a former colonial monument and now a popular emblem of the city and a hubbub of life. The gate was built 1924-1927 to commemorate King George V’s visit in 1911. The biggest museum in India is next door - the Prince of Wales Museum. Sample bhelpuri (Mumbai’s favourite snack) at Chowpatty Beach along what is known as Marine Drive, it’s one of the city’s most popular promenades.

No visit to Mumbai is complete without a visit to the bazaars of Kalbadevi and Bluleshwar, north of Crawford Market. Crawford Market is also worth a visit.
